ofthree students labeled P, Q, and R whom I believe to be representative, in a macro sense, of thedifferent ways in which students played the Novice level of the Spumone Drop challenge. Theletters P, Q, and R were chosen for convenience. Any relation that may exist between theseletters and the students’ actual names is coincidental.Student P. The way that that Student P played the novice and practice levels of the Dropchallenge is depicted in Figure 8. The horizontal lines represent timelines on two separate days.Vertical lines above the horizontal axis represent instances in which the student played the game.The practice level is essentially the same as the novice level, except there are no flowers to killthe spuCraft. The purpose of the

derivative of the strain energy with respect to a load applied at that point. If an externalload is not present at the point of interest, then a dummy load can be applied there for thepurpose of deflection determination. After the partial derivative is calculated with respect to thedummy load, that dummy is set to zero in the moment equation. In equation form, we write: Page 24.946.4 U M Q 0 M L Q   dx Eq.2 Q 0 EI QThe variable Q is used to

, solicited comments seem to imply that the Page 24.1357.17benefit of shorter videos may be a moot point in the face of playback controls that allow studentsto watch a video, no matter its length, at whatever pace is to their liking. The authors lookforward to seeing future studies, along the lines of the one conducted by Kim et al.10, that wouldexamine student viewing patterns when having the option to watch a video at 1.5×, 2×, etc., andeventually link those patterns to learning and retention.References[1] N.
