This Interactive Qualifying Project involved designing and conducting studies that compared various types of tutoring methods for third grade topics using the ASSISTments system. - Our experiments include testing the effect of giving students a choice about an assignment's difficulty or mastery level, adapting to a student’s performance in a problem set, and exploring the best way to improve student confidence. The data collected was then analyzed to propose effective tutoring methods.
