“…Note that the first two research questions replicate those in Iannone and Simpson (2015), but are recontextualised to education, while the other two research questions compare the results of the previous mathematics study with the study reported here. Iannone, P. and Simpson, A.…”

“…We previously reported on a study of mathematics students' assessment preferences which indicated that these were in marked contrast to the common message from most other studies in higher education (Iannone and Simpson 2015). That study suggested that a cause of this disparity lay with problematic sampling bias within that existing literature.…”

“…To avoid conflating effects for institution and discipline, we conducted the study with students at the same institutions as Iannone and Simpson (2015), referred to as Uni1 and Uni2, two research-intensive universities in the UK. As a recontextualised replication study, we used the same methods of the previous study except where highlighted below.…”

The mathematics cohorts are much larger than the education cohorts at the two participant institutions and the larger sample represents a similar proportion of respondents.…”

“…They also see oral examinations as a very good way to assess for ability in mathematics. In a follow up study (Iannone and Simpson 2015b) show how English students appreciate the oral examination method for its immediacy of feedback and perceive this assessment method as requiring conceptual understanding. Iannone and Simpson (in press) also investigated the reasons why mathematics students' perceptions are different from those reported in the literature via a comparative study between mathematics and education students and found very different results.…”
