Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of using frequent online quizzes as a replacement for homework in an Electric Circuits Course. The results of two experiments show that performance on these quizzes is correlated with performance on course exams, conceptual understanding of the material, and problem solving ability. These results do not appear to be correlated with prior knowledge, grit, or self-efficacy.
