In the past this type of response has includedincreased coverage in multiple courses, assessment in additional classes, major revision of theassignment(s) used to demonstrate the competency in question, and/or reconsideration of therubric used for assessment.Following our initial program-level review, we revisited our performance criteria and rubrics toaddress any inconsistencies or redundancies that had been noticed by the faculty raters.

bulbs.We connected a digital multimeter across the load and the reading jumped up to 40 VDC within15 s. Over the next half hour we saw the meter stay fairly constant around 42 VDC with a peakof 51VDC. By comparing wind speed reading from the anemometer our data showed a 20 mphwind would generate around 42VDC. One area of concern was the tail vane furling system; itdid not seem to be operating like it was designed too operate. The design is set to limit theturbine speed rpm by turning the blades away from strong winds and keep the turbine fromrotating above specific rpm values.Using the wind data from the Iowa Energy Center 29 it was determined that we could expectaverage wind results for our chosen tower location in Northwest Iowa as seen in Table

To address this challenge, a two-tier approach was developed and delivered duringthe Fall 05 term at Robert Morris University to deal with the differing expectations of thestakeholders in the teaching/learning environment as described in Figure 1. This approachis further discussed in this article.3. The Two-Tier Approach The first tier of the teaching plan, called the ‘essential teaching plan’ includes all ofthe essential teaching elements. These elements consist of the following: • Set teaching method(s): The options are lecture, discussion, tutorial, laboratory, mutli-media resources.
