So if a student has 2 out of 3 problems right on the first problemset, they have to get 3 out of 3 on the second problem set to improve their grade, not just1 out of 1.Problem sets are usually designed to take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete,since that appears to maximize student effort and learning (long enough for the studentsto master the material but not so long the students get frustrated and refuse to try again iftheir scores are low). This typically means 3-5 problems in calculus and differentialequations, with sometimes more problems in

textbook format and classroom teaching methodology have remained essentiallyunchanged. Regardless of the relatively simple vector-less energy and entropy balance nature ofthermodynamics, there are two significant barriers for students grappling with this subject –mastering the Greek and Latin language based subject terminology, and the use of the everexpanding cadre of complex property tables printed at the back of the textbook. This paper describes two new techniques that were developed to overcome thesebarriers. The first uses a custom PHP web based application in the format of a popular TV quizshow “Jeopardy” to motivate the understanding of thermodynamic terminology. Because it isweb based, the application could be used by students
