“…Action: provide supportive instructions and virtual office hours Students enrolled in this course often complain that they did not understand the assigned questions, either because of language problems, or lack of skills, or even both. According to Ostler (1997), experimental evidence shows that improving students' ability to comprehend the text increases their homework success rate. As a result, I made the following modification on my first cycle: instead of handing the worksheet without any clarification, I would thoroughly explain it and discuss some potential difficulties.…”

This study investigates the relationship between undergraduate engineering students' attitudes toward statistics, attitudes toward homework, and rate of homework completion when enrolled in a statistics course. The Attitude Toward Statistics Scale (ATS) and an Attitude Toward Homework Opinionnaire were used. ATS reliability was evaluated using the internal-consistency method. Hypotheses examining differences in attitudes between two groups of students and the effect of their attitudes on rate of homework completion were addressed using statistical tests and ANOVA. The study also focuses on the impact of introducing a new homework policy on students' motivation to do homework in frame of an action research. Results suggest that students are more willing to do homework when the adopted homework policy fulfills most of their relevant high-level needs including ease of communication with their instructor.
