providedvalues for these respective parameters, do some algebra, and punch the values into a calculator. Understanding this equation is more complicated. Memorization is necessary, but, inaddition, what each parameter in the equation means or represents is required (for example,providing a written definition or explanation for each parameter).1Question-Based Understanding How are concept-understanding exercises implemented in an introductory materialsscience and engineering course? What kind(s) of assignments can an instructor provide to helpstudents come to understandings of important concepts? To reiterate, for the student, developingunderstandings of concepts (i.e., thinking and pondering) are toilsome activities for the learner.Whereas

and instructor quality (3.43-3.57out of 4, in-person vs 3.74-3.94 out of 4, online) indicates that the higher self-assessedknowledge improvement for in-person training is not an artifact of unhappiness online or"better" instructor performance in-person.It has not been possible to follow-up differences in retention of these two models, due topractical circumstances of professional development within VBG Group, but hope that the resultfrom the question in-person: 7. How well do you think this course will contribute to thesustainability work within VBG Group? is closer to very good than pretty good, as in the survey.References[1] C. Fredriksson and S.
