showedan increase in student engagement. However, it was inconclusive whether the homeworkcompletion grade was affected by the pedagogy. The results also showed that the homework hada weak positive correlation with exam performance.The present paper further aims to assess the efficacy of the pedagogy by examining studentengagement and student performance across multiple cohorts of the course. Learningmanagement system tools, like chat and polling, were previously shown to be effectivequalitative methods for overcoming the passive learning behavior exhibited by EFL students.Thus, a comparison by cohort and in aggregate were performed for the following: studentparticipation at each synchronous Q&A session using the chat feature, student polling

): For the extruded beam shown, the allowable stress is 120 MPa in tension and 150MPa in compression. Determine the largest couple M that can be applied.Problem 5-1 (Optional - 3 points BONUS): For the following shape, draw the Mz and My components onthe blank cross sections shown and show which portions are under tension and compression. (2 pts) a) What point experience the highest compressive stress (A, B, or C)? (1 pt)Problem 5-2 (Optional - 2 points BONUS)For the following shape subjected to vertical shear, show where you would make cuts and shade the areawhere you would calculate Q to find the stress at point a.
