the pedagogicalpuzzle. This feedback is used to refine and optimize the course for the student to get the mostfrom the experience. This optimization is heavily based upon the premise that students haveresponded to the best of their ability using their own work.When this premise is found to fail, a common response by the instructor is to reduce the courseweight of the component(s) where academic integrity may be questioned (e.g. computerprogramming laboratories). While this appears to limit the gains of the dishonest student, it willalso demotivate the honest students by: 1) Placing less emphasis on core aspects of the course building blocks, and 2) Continuing to reward questionable methods with high marks.In the effort to limit the

In most texts, s= σ + jω , and for a discussion of thefrequency response, setting σ = 0 results in the classic result, s = jω . At this point, aSignals & Systems student should be able to recreate Figure 1. This should be recognizedas the magnitude only display of a Bode plot for the response of an ideal integrator, 1/s,and an ideal differentiator, s.Figure 1.

Applications sliding toolbars which allow a smooth variation of property values. Properly used by students, these worksheets have the potential to reinforce and enhance understanding of the fundamental interrelationships among various properties; students are free to change various parameters such as pressure, temperature, and quality, and immediately view the effect of these changes on the associated Mollier and T-s diagrams. Students may quickly visualize the effect of these changes, rather than being mired in the minutiae of table lookups, interpolation, transcription, and manual plotting. An additional benefit of the rapid and very accurate plotting of thermodynamic properties is a better

shiftsbetween the 1970’s and 2010’s.using paradigms to understand AI’s evolutionPractitioners in diverse fields define the term “paradigm” in different ways depending on theirdomains, with slight variations corresponding to norms in their respective fields. We takeKuhn’s[12] view which holds that a paradigm provides an open-ended resource that presents aframework of concepts, results and procedures within which subsequent work is structured. Acharacteristic of paradigms is that they can “shift” with new knowledge or evidence. An exampleusing human flight experience can be represented as shown in Table 2 below. The inspirationmay have originated from nature, through birds’ ability to swiftly move in air. Legends andmythology from early Greek times

Thepurpose of this “control volume” is to provide a means to visualize whether the vector field isconverging or diverging at a particular location. Once the users choose a point that they desire,one user is prompted for an exact calculation of the divergence at the control volume‟s location.If the user answers correctly, the program continues to the next round
