Students were administered a 5-point Likert-style survey at the end of the semester, togauge student feedback on both categories. The survey also included questions about how longit took for students to solve each category of homework. A comparison of time spend bystudents on the two categories of homework is presented.

” whenprobed further about the responses they gave on the Exam. We observed that whilethey may understand, they have not necessarily mastered the vocabulary of theprofession and rather use pseudo theories. Although they got the answer right, theywere not based on accurate reasoning, even they were confident about their response.Unlike the first cluster of responses, the responses of students in Cluster 2 during thetest seem to suggest that they did not understand the concept, and they were aware oftheir strengths. In this cluster, we observed that most students could not correctlyidentify the concept, neither could they correctly analyze when asked clarification orprobing questions.There was more evidence of rote rather than meaningful learning of the
Master, and the associated tasks are listedbelow: Level 1 Basic: The cat jumps up off a large rock at a given launch speed and angle. Determine how high and how far the cat jumps, and the time it takes for the cat to land on the ground. Level 2 Advanced: A cat jumps up to catch a bird in a “fixed” position. Given the initial launch angle, determine the initial launch speed for the cat to catch the bird. Level 3 Expert: Similar to Level 2, but in addition to gravity, now a horizontal acceleration component is added to mimic the effect of wind blowing horizontally. Given the initial launch angle, determine the initial launch speed for the cat to catch the bird. Level 4 Master: A cat jumps up to catch

The class was divided into 3 groups of4 students with one student designated as the Chief Engineer. In terms of logistics, the 3Dprinter was broken up into 3 main subassemblies: horizontal gantry or y-axis (including thebase), vertical gantry or z-axis and lateral gantry or x-axis. Each group was then assigned one ofthe subassemblies. The group was responsible for the complete design of that subassembly – seeFigure 3. Shortly after designating the subassemblies, the entire class created a master Ganttchart (see Figure 4). The Gantt chart shows an aggressive schedule
course outcomes and set abenchmark indicating achievement. There is typically more than one PI per outcome. Instructorsprovide the minimum grade possible, maximum grade possible, and mastering score, often around80% of the available maximum score. For each student score, a value 𝑝 is found by the equation𝑝 = (𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 − 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔)⁄Δ, where Δ = 𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔. This value is clipped so that 𝑝 ∈[−1,1], so that a value of 1 means the student scored the maximum possible, and a value of -1means that a student scored at or below 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 − Δ (equal to 60% if the mastering benchmarkis 80%). After this is completed for every student, the average across all student PI results linkedto the same course outcome is
semantics and tricky syntax.Programming students today must master some of these languages in order to be viable jobcandidates.Programming is a complex cognitive task that can be broken down into four concrete steps, atleast at the outset. For larger systems there may be other aspects as well: ● Comprehension of the desired task ● Planning a sequence of steps to accomplish that task ● Writing a program in a particular language to implement the algorithm ● Testing and (usually) debugging the program In teaching programming, we can show students the programming constructs of alanguage, such as a loop, but like any language, fluency comes through practice. The obviousway to build competence is to have students write programs

The community serves as a forum for teachers to debrief and learn from each otherabout ways to improve their instruction and design of the curricular units.
