questions better. The TBL sections helped me master the material and keep up-to-date on what we were learning in class. I would like to have more of the sessions throughout the semester. The TBLs always helped everyone keep on track with the material, and see what we are really expected to know from lecture in terms of difficulty of questions. The TBLs kept me in check. It is an excellent way to make sure students are not falling behind. The team-based aspect of the TBLs definitely helped me to get a better grip on the material and instant feedback helped significantly. My favorite MoleCell activity, in retrospect, may have been the gRAT's; it was just somewhat fun and exciting to scratch off to find the right answer. I really enjoyed the

Paul Torrance (2002).11 The ATTA measures the subscales of fluency (thenumber of relevant stimuli expressed), originality (the statistical uniqueness of the idea),elaboration (the amount of detail provided) and flexibility (otherwise known as openness) andwas deemed suitable for this study because it can be administered in 15 minutes and is highlysuitable for repeated use.12 The test

Answering individual questions while students work on homeworkproblems wasn’t as effective as the author would like. There were issues with both group andindividual work and the students sometimes had trouble staying on task.

At the University of Georgia(UGA), repeating statics commonly delays progression toward graduation by one year.Assuming our past passing rate in statics remains the same, a minimum of two ENGR 2120course sections are needed just for repeaters, current section size for this course is 72 students. Asupport system addressing this single academic issue could improve the retention rate for theCollege of Engineering and reduce the time and resources dedicated to this one course.Completion of an introductory physics course in Newtonian mechanics and an integral calculuscourse are common prerequisites for statics.

Since only one section of the course was offered, itwas not possible to teach the same class for two parallel groups of students in a single semester.Thus, to permit direct comparison between a gamified and a non-gamified SRS, we tested themon two consecutive class periods taught by the same instructor and involving comparable in-classproblems and SRS questions.

Experiential learningcriteria are given in (Ambrose, et. al., 2010). Through experiential learning, students areconfronted with unfamiliar situations and tasks in a real-world context. To complete these tasks,students need to figure out what they know, what they do not know, and how to learn it. Thisrequires students to: reflect on their prior knowledge and deepen it through reflection and totransfer their previous learning to new contexts resulting in mastering new concepts, principles,and skills (Linn, et al., 2004).
