Abstract: Individual support for students in large university courses is often difficult. To give students feedback regarding their current level of learning at an early stage, we have implemented a warning system that is intended to motivate students to study more intensively before the final exam. For that purpose, we use learning data from an e-assessment platform for an introductory mathematical statistics course to predict the probability of passing the final exam for each student. Subsequently, we sent a warning email to students with a low predicted probability of passing the exam. Using a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we detect a positive but imprecisely estimated effect of this treatment. Our results suggest that a single such email is only a weak signal – in particular when they already receive other feedback via midterms, in-class quizzes, etc. – to nudge students to study more intensively.
