Using computer based assessments in a large statistics service course

This article follows on from that published last year in MSOR Connections on using computer based assessment in first year mathematics and statistics degree courses at Newcastle University. Here we describe the successful application of computer based practice and in-course assessment to a large service course in statistics for students in the Business School at Newcastle University in 2007/2008. A major objective was to increase student engagement by providing more practice and continuous in-course assessment.
