Query: Improving performance in quantum mechanics with explicit incentives to
  correct mistakes   An earlier investigation found that the performance of advanced students in a
quantum mechanics course did not automatically improve from midterm to final
exam on identical problems even when they were provided the correct solutions
and their own graded exams. Here, we describe a study, which extended over four
years, in which upper-level undergraduate students in a quantum physics course
were given four identical problems in both the midterm exam and final exam.
Approximately half of the students were given explicit incentives to correct
their mistakes in the midterm exam. In particular, they could get back up to
50\% of the points lost on each midterm exam problem. The solutions to the
midterm exam problems were provided to all students in both groups but those
who corrected their mistakes were provided the solution after they submitted
their corrections to the instructor. The performance on the same problems on
the final exam suggests that students who were given incentives to correct
their mistakes significantly outperformed those who were not given an
incentive. The incentive to correct the mistakes had greater impact on the
final exam performance of students who had not performed well on the midterm
exam.
