will typically increasethe pass rate of a course. This course is also one of the first programming classes taken by transferstudents which may contribute to the high DFW rate. Future work will include a comparison ofthe DFW rates between historic offerings and those that have made use of Plickers.In conclusion using Plickers in class is a positive experience for both the instructor and the stu-dents. Since each class has a clear structure of: Plicker question, lecture, break, Plicker question,lecture/activity, quiz, students are never doing any one task for very long. This aids in keepingstudents engaged and on task.References [1] L. Porter, D. Bouvier, Q. Cutts, S. Grissom, C. Lee, R. McCartney, D. Zingaro, and B. Simon, “A Multi

improving theirinterest in engineering and STEM.VII. Study Limitations and Next StepsThe generalizability of the results of this study is limited by study context and participants. Thestudy took place at one private high school with one teacher and seventeen students to date, all ofwhich were advanced learners. Thus, the ability to infer potential impacts on high school scienceteachers and students is limited. The other two lessons developed during the teacher professionaldevelopment workshop will be conducted to increase the sample size of this study. Additionally,performing these lessons in schools with greater representative student diversity would alsoenhance our ability to generalize impact.VIII. References[1] S. L. Robinson and J. A. Mangold
):• I definitely really liked the fact that you chose to solve the problems live - it helped understand your thought process for each step. Your explanations were really well explained and detailed. I also like how for question two, for example, you didn't just write the units, but you explained the meaning of Kp, the equation and how you got your final units.• The explanation was very thorough and the exam solutions themselves were very neat and easy to follow. the only error I noticed was that in #5, your math for the limit is slightly wrong, as when s goes to 0, there is still the + 1 in each parenthesis, meaning the terms dont reduce to 0, but the K value instead.
