Problem Roulette (PR) is a study tool used in several large-enrollment classes within the Colleges of LS&A and Engineering. Students access the cloud-based tool via the web or phone. Within a particular course a student can select from a list of topics. The student will be given problems or an entire practice test from a database of prior course exam problems. The original tool and measures of its effectiveness have been described in Evrard et al., Am J Phys, 83, 76 (2015). As part of a service update supported by the Digital Innovation Greenhouse in the Office of Academic Innovation, we seek funds to update and expand the database to include problems from exams from the past 3-4 years from all four large courses, and extend the service to include our honors sequence. The database update will provide students with problems which are reflective of the current content of the courses.
