Oneway for students to gain and practice documentation and technical communication skills in apractical setting is through the experiential courses throughout the curriculum (i.e. laboratorycourses).Given the increasing presence of social media as well as other methods of electroniccommunication, computer mediated activities provide an opportunity to educate students in afamiliar setting. Electronic documentation is also gaining popularity in research laboratories andindustries, as well as in the medical and other professional fields, all in which

Materials science textbooks [4] often begin with the topic of struc-ture, then move on to properties and processing.

This is a justifiable approach from astudent perspective, given that the coin distributions did not affect how students were graded.For future work, it is recommended that CDRM be integrated into the scoring of multiple-choicequestions.Second, the use of CDRM should be expanded to other assessment instruments. In this case, itmight be better to evaluate this method on exams rather than short quizzes to ensure a higher rateof participation across the spectrum of student levels of conceptual understanding.
