Specifications Grading scheme. Students could use this as a checklistto keep track of their course grade.Assignment BundlesHomework Problem Sets (HWs): Eight weekly HWs are assigned and submitted on the courselearning management system. Problems are assigned from the textbook. A token can be used toreceive a 48-hour extension on the HW due date; this can be done up to three times. Each HW isgraded using the rubric shown in Table 3.Homework Quizzes: Students work on weekly HQs in groups during class time. These quizzescover material from the previous week’s homework problems to assess comprehension of theproblem solutions. They are online quizzes through the course learning management system withmultiple choice or true/false questions. Students receive

This data included LMS feature use at two points in time each semester: mid-Spring and atthe end of the semester. For comparison purposes to Spring 2020, mid-Spring (denoted m19-m23) LMS feature use data were recorded at the end of the 9th week of the semester (i.e., whenin-person instruction stopped). Spring data accounts for all LMS feature use across the semester.LMS feature use data were provided

they need to be effective learners. A syllabus may reflect the instructor’sbeliefs and attitudes about the subject matter and students, making it a guide for the instructor aswell as to the students. Cullen and Harris argue that “a syllabus is more than an outline of course.It represents the mindset, that is the professor’s philosophy of teaching and learning as well ashis or her attitudes toward students, and conceptualization of the course [8].” Cullen and Harrisfurther argue that a review of course syllabi can reveal much about an instructor’s learner-centered practices and have developed a rubric for assessing learner-center qualities of coursesyllabi. Eslami, et al., analyzed undergraduate STEM syllabi and found students enrolled

solution manuals, 2) online tutoring services, 3) neglect of reading thetextbook, 4) increased absence from lectures, 5) decreased attention to homework, 6) gradeinflation in prerequisite courses, and 7) increased class sizes [1] - [5]. Most of these factors arebeyond the instructor’s control. Efforts have been made to address some of these challenges, whichhave been reported in engineering educational conferences [1] - [5].During the COVID-19 pandemic, all classes were conducted online from March 2020 throughAugust 2021. Teaching the heat transfer course in fall 2021 and spring 2022 revealed that manystudents lacked commitment to attending lectures or diligently solving homework assignments.Additionally, it was observed that many students lacked
