Abstract	This study extends the work of Park and Ellis (2020) with its use of randomized data in Excel® assignments by incorporating a feedback feature that allows students to check their work before submitting it for grading. Three groups of intermediate accounting students complete identical assignments that vary only in the mode of data delivery. One group receives a set of static data so that each student has the same information to complete the assignment. A second group receives data through a randomized number generating function facilitated by an Excel® macro. The third group's data is randomized but the Excel® file also includes a self-check answer function that they can use prior to submitting the assignment for grading. The results indicate that the third group scores the highest and has the greatest satisfaction with the assignment. The study provides evidence that accounting instructors will serve their students better when their Excel® assignments provide randomized data and a self-check answer feedback feature. It also re-enforces the practice of enabling the check answer feature often found in online homework management systems. (As Provided).
