Moststudents were able to conclude that the battery was not able to provide unlimited current ormaintain a constant voltage when shorted and that it was a non-ideal source.Laboratories for advanced concepts such as operational amplifier circuits and AC circuit analysiswere handled through P-Spice, a circuit simulation software package. In the summer 2010course, we found that students struggled with the advanced labs without someone knowledgeablein troubleshooting to help them.

Research suggests that students feel the need to have access to andfeedback on any identified misconceptions early so that they can plan on making a move tocorrect them [9]. Bull et al. (2010) used a computer-based method called the open learner modelas a means of highlighting first-year introductory electrical circuits students’ interest inacknowledging their misconceptions as a first move towards dealing with their difficulties inlearning as opposed to just receiving general feedback.
