Using Computer Based Tests to allow Multiple Attempts at AssessmentComputer based assessment has been used at UWE for a number of years on certain modules run by the School of
Mathematical Sciences. In this case study we discuss the operation of the assessment for a first year engineering
mathematics module in which students are permitted multiple attempts and are allowed, within an specified period of time,
to choose when they take the assessment. Feedback from students has been highly positive about the assessment regime and our observation is that operating the tests in this way does encourage students to work steadily throughout the year.
Using Mathematics Diagnostic Testing on Engineering CoursesEven as long ago as the mid-1990s, a survey for the Open Learning Foundation [1] found that most universities were using some form of mathematics diagnostic testing on their first-year undergraduates, usually during Induction Week. With the advent of computer-aided mathematics diagnostic systems such as DIAGNOSYS [2], it has become easier to obtain an off-the-shelf diagnostic system. Even so, many people still use their own in-house tests. This study considers one such example.

VectorsThis leaflet explains notations in common use for describing vectors, and shows how to calculate the modulus of vectors given in Cartesian form. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 6.1)
Vectors - Scalar Product 1One of the ways in which two vectors can be combined is known as the scalar product. When we calculate the scalar product of two vectors the result, as the name suggests is a scalar, rather than a vector.

Volumes of solids of revolutionWe sometimes need to calculate the volume of a solid which can be obtained by
rotating a curve about the x-axis. There is a straightforward technique
which enables this to be done, using integration. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
