Abstract
A major challenge in teaching technical courses that involve coding or data analysis is creating exercises that encourage hands‐on learning. The creation of exercises by instructors is time-consuming, however, and may deprive students of an opportunity to learn through the process of creating learning materials. This study develops and assesses the use of an exercise-creation task in a graduate-level quantitative methods class for students' (self-perceived) learning, and for attitudes toward exercise creation as a learning tool more generally in applied technical courses.
