Abstract

Major extensions to a step-based tutoring system for linear circuit analysis courses and systematic evaluation of the system are described. The system randomly generates circuit problems for each student. Topics includes advanced ones such as Laplace-domain circuit analysis and operational amplifier circuits. Surveys show that 73-90% of students evaluate the modules as very or somewhat useful and identified potential areas for improvement. An independent systematic evaluation shows that 79-89% of students prefer the system over alternative homework approaches and 71-82% would like to use the system again, and 100% of surveyed instructors would recommend its use to others.
