Abstract

The use of Data Retrieval Tests (DRTs), as an alternative to physics laboratory notebook marking, is discussed. The implementation of a Moodle-based, on-line DRT for 1st year physics students is described. The advantages of using such a methodology are highlighted and student comments shown. The paper also describes how students change their behaviour as a consequence of having an end of module DRT via 'bootstrapping', both singly and in peer groups.
