ABSTRACT
Unsupervised online quizzes are an effective method to help students regularly self-assess their understanding of the course concepts. It also encourages a good study habit that could lead to a better learning outcome. In our study we perform a refined analysis of the activity logs collected from the weekly quizzes of a second-year Computer Organization course with over 200 students. In addition to measuring the correlation between students' quiz performance and final performance, we also investigate the impacts of various behavioural factors such as the number of participations, the number of trials, the starting time, and the trends of changes in students' behaviours throughout the semester. Our results show that some behavioural patterns have strong implications for a student's final learning outcome in the course. We also find that the correlation between the quiz performance and the final performance is stronger for students with more active study habits.
