The development ofa four-phase process from these frameworks has previously been reported on [citation blindedfor peer review]. The four phases of the modeling process that students used during theirmodeling activities were: (1) planning the model, (2) building the model, (3) evaluating themodel, and (4) reflecting on the model. Table 1 below overviews the tasks that students didduring each phase of the modeling process.Table 1. Overview of learning design for the modeling projects during the course. Phase

Some comments indicate that students would like the testing environmentto function similarly to the testing environment they are used to. For example, several studentsremarked that they would like the ability to return to previously answered questions and makechanges before submitting the exam. One student noted that right clicking was disabled,disallowing him to use the browsers spell-checking feature. We plan to address these issues inthe next software revision.Participants did not find inherent drawbacks with the bartering concept. Bartering is available,but not compulsory.

Despite seemingly successful, dynamic programming has not been adaptednearly as readily, and thus successfully, as its mathematical programming counterpartssuch as linear and integer programming.

might be to replace a statement like “capture cue ball” with “capture theclosest ball.” By simplifying their original script, participants typically earned a sub-optimalscore. A better solution is to reorganize the script so that the maximum number of points, basedon remaining balls, can be earned.Strategy games such as Robo-Billiards can help to engage students in activities that are fun andsupport STEM concepts. As observed in the student behaviors, the most successful results occurwhen a clear and defined plan (algorithm) is used to form the necessary script. Even in the faceof a fault, it is the ability to adapt to the new circumstances that allowed further success. Therobot’s design likewise impacts the potential STEM learning

]. Spohrer [3] analyzed programming errors using a cognitive sciencemodel. Spohrer used a Goal And Plan tree to trace the root causes of errors, which defined plans(steps/procedures) as the techniques to solve the problem, and the goals as the desired result toachieve or accomplish. Spohrer found that once there is a mismatch between a plan and a goal,an error occurs. Yarmish used a similar approach but added more components to a plan [4].Other work suggests that errors occur due to inaccurate mental models about program state[3][4][7][13][14]. Horstmann [5] presents a list of common errors when introducing C++programming concepts and constructs. Horstmann presents common errors in each chapter,which may help students avoid such errors.
