While this study employed an adequate sample of students, the generalization offindings is not warranted. A larger sample and different situations and conditions make theresearch design more reliable. The next phase of this study will include the recruitment of subjectsfrom various majors and using discerning factors to reveal interdependencies between subgroups.References[1] S. Hershner and R.

ConclusionIncorporating less than 0.5% of graphene or carbon nanotubes has demonstrated the potential toenhance the 28-day compressive strength of cement mortars. To ascertain an optimal ratio andassess the impact of lower contents on variability, additional research is recommended. Thisexploration is crucial for determining the viability and practicality of these mixtures forcommercial applications. If these findings prove scalable and methods are devised to mitigatevariability, carbon nanomaterials could emerge as advantageous additives for larger-scaleapplications in cementitious materials. 8.

While modern medical institutions are wellequipped to treat patients with diagnosed mental conditions, people with milder symptoms areseldom able to receive necessary treatment due to their condition not falling under the requireddiagnostic criteria [6]. Without access to medical diagnosis and treatment, many such individualscontinue to suffer from their mild/medium symptoms until their condition deteriorates to thepoint of needing necessary medical attention, resulting in the need for more effective andaccessible diagnostic techniques to prevent mild mental disorders from regressing.

students.Brief History Figure 1. The History of Linear AlgebraIn the 1960s (Figure 1), a group of mathematicians, notably associated with the Bourbaki Schoolsuch as J. Dieudonné and S. Lang, advocated for a significant overhaul in mathematicseducation, labeling it "Modern Mathematics." They believed that what students learned shouldmatch how mathematicians were logically constructing math at the time. Consequently, LinearAlgebra became a highly abstract and formalized subject. Aspects like Analytic Geometry andMatrix Calculus were largely overlooked in favor of emphasizing complex mathematicalstructures. The focus shifted away from intuition towards a more rigorous exploration of thesestructures, making Linear Algebra a

; BackgroundAssigning grades as a practice in educational systems has been used commonly since the early1900’s [1]. Grades are globally ubiquitous to students’ academic success. Whether representedalphabetically (A, B, C, D, & F) or numerically (through percentages or grade-point averages)grades can be considered a universal language taught to nearly everyone as early as primary andelementary school.Grades are a practice tool and serve dual function in educational systems. Formative assessmentsare ideally low stakes assignments that happen multiple times in a way that scaffolds studentlearning and development and deliver frequent real-time feedback to students [2], [3], so anygrades that are a result of a formative assessments (e.g., homework, quizzes
