One student volunteered to be blindfolded and two studentsvolunteered to give instructions. The blindfolded student had the objective of traveling from oneside of the room to the other side based purely on the instructions of his/her peers. This exerciseemphasized the level of precision necessary to describe a sequence of steps.Standardized Test Preparation: System of Equations The students were given a pair of linear equations and instructed to solve for the unknownvariables using an algorithmic approach.

However,it is best to rely on other indicators beyond course performance in order to more accuratelydepict the impact of a course transformation. To supplement the results of the quantitativeanalyses, student comments about the course and instructor observations of the transformationimplementation were assessed. Students found the work sessions to be very effective, enjoyedcollaborating with peers and the instructor, and thought the online videos were helpful.
