Abstract
In this work the extraction and evaluation of student's aptitude of a master's level, electromagnetics class (Fall 2015) at Aalto University has been done using both pre- and post-course conceptual tests and homework assignments. Several qualitative results obtained, mostly revealing trends in certain areas of electricity and magnetism. An almost linear trend regarding the pre- and post-test results is extracted, while a correlation scheme between homework scores and student's learning gain is obtained. These results might be used for both educational and statistical purposes, asserting the overall educational process with tools and knowledge towards properly designed courses and student oriented electromagnetics pedagogy.
