Abstract

In this chapter, two exercises that were part of an information retrieval course are described. Both exercises were set up to assess the qualities of a search engine and to consider how the engine could be improved. Students were engaged in problem-based learning. The exercises were run for several years and found to be successful both in engaging students in the course, but also in establishing links with organisations interested in evaluation of search.
