The linear algebra exams at the University of Twente typically have at least 30% of the points allocated to final answer questions. With no points allocated to a process, but only to the final answer, students often complain that these questions are unfair. If the questions are ones where a careless error might result in…

This study examines the implementation of digital short answer testing in calculus and linear algebra for service mathematics courses. The research compares short answer grading with ‘hypothetical grading’ based on fully worked solutions to assess the validity of digital assessment methods in these mathematical disciplines.
