Information flow in group exams

written by Steven F. Wolf, Timothy M. Sault, and Hunter G. Close

Collaboration is an integral part of science, and as our classrooms become more collaborative, so too can our assessments. Group exam data gives us a new kind of data about how our students relate to each other. Network analysis provides many tools for describing, visualizing, and analyzing student networks. In particular, we have used Directed networks to describe student collaboration, explored relationships between measures of network position on exam performance, and examined what the different micro-structures tell us about the different kinds of collaboration on an exam. Furthermore, we describe trends in these collaborative practices over a semester-long time-scale.
