!Nevertheless, this study shows that the essentials are nearly identical between the two institutions Page 13.313.15so neither of them has decided to substantially eliminate material from the shorter (3 hour)course.Simply going faster is clearly a bad idea; after all, the objective is learning, not teaching. An“expert” might be able to cover all of the essentials in a single lecture, especially if s/he hasauctioneer’s training, but this would not facilitate learning. There are, however, ways to gofaster while not significantly affecting student learning, as described below under“Recommendations”.Shifting the burden to the students should be considered

engine torque by dividing the power by the engine speed in radians/s. Apply the proper unitconversions to express the torque in kN-m.5. Compute the fuel efficiency. The fuel efficiency is defined here as net power divided by the energy content of thefuel supplied. Using the mass of air (m) and specific work per cycle (w) computed above, the lower heating value ofthe fuel (LHV) and the air fuel ratio (AFmass) from the combustion calculation, the efficiency is given as ηfuel = (mairℜw)/(mfuelℜLHV) = (AFmass w)/(LHV)6. Repeat the steps above for complete combustion with 130% theoretical air.7. Repeat the steps above for combustion with 80% theoretical air. Assume that the products contain unburned fuel(5% of the

Specificity of adaptation refers to whether ornot (and in how much detail) participants described how they adapted their communication to agiven situation.Level of complexity. Our working definition of situatedness includes the entire communicationcontext—for example, the intended audience(s), the purpose, and the conditions of use. The levelof complexity of the participants’ involvement with situatedness ranged from those whoacknowledged a basic concern for audience (all participants) to those who attended to the fullcommunication context. Some excerpts from participants’ portfolios and survey responses
