maximum grade gradeResultsThe programming component of the course was setup for a weekly quiz, two mid-term exams, and afinal exam during the Spring 2020 semester. Programming assignments using robotics kits wereincorporated into one week’s schedule but was not implemented due to Covid-19. Students’performance for this semester is compared to historic performance in the figure below. As can be seenfrom the figure, the performance of students in this course far exceeded historic performance. In 2019-2020 year, due to Covid-19, some grades were listed as P as per MSU policy. These grades are countedtowards C, the least grade for the course needed to progress in the program. Other grades during thisyear included 4 NC (no

This study offers a comparative analysis evaluating the efficacy of using mini-projectsand ePortfolios in a face-to-face learning environment (Fall 2019) and in an online-only learningenvironment (Fall 2020). Participants in the face-to-face Fall 2019 (n = 104) course completed aquestionnaire that evaluated specific engagement constructs. The completed questionnaires wereevaluated using descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Data from the Fall 2020 (n = 64) coursewere evaluated using the same assessment methodology.
