Thestudents were surveyed on the following questions regarding agile practices: Q-A1: “Working in pairs on this project was challenging.” Q-A2: “Having bi-weekly gate presentations to briefly discuss the progress in team project helped me to be more engaged in the group's progress and makes team work and communication between the students and the instructor more transparent.”The survey results show that only 20% of students found working in pair to be challenging,which was previously pointed out by students as a main challenge during the second yearimplementation of the design project (only PBL). This was complemented by the results of thesecond question where 80% of students found the bi-weekly gate presentations

If the arrows were drawn in different directions in the submission and answerdiagram, then a negative sign is added during the replacement. We check both the submissionagainst the answer and the answer against the submission due to the possible algebraiccombination of terms. For example, a problem may have two applied forces, both called Q, butthe instructor may decide to label them Q1, Q2. The student may submit both forces labeled Q,and neither the instructor answer nor student submission are wrong. If just the submission isconverted to the instructor variable space, then the

For simplicity,consider the replacement of the argument t by the argument n to describe the sampled-datasystem, where n represents a sample instance. The output 𝑋(𝑛) can be represented as e f 𝑋 𝑛 = 𝑅 𝑛 (Eq. 9) g f where 𝐴 𝑞 and 𝐵 𝑞 are polynomials, whose ratio 𝐵(𝑞)/𝐴 𝑞 is the true transfer function ofthe unknown system.

It isalso noteworthy that the mean rating for overarching problems was significantly lower forMechanics II.

This student was reluctant to participatein the activities called Q&C and MA Self-Assessment and missed a few classes near the end of thesemester. The student mastered 12 of 16 objectives (note that H.1 is considered close enough in ourscheme). It appears that the student had some trouble finishing the module assessments because objectiveJ is the very last step in all problems.

The services detailed here are not the only services Chegg offers tostudents, they are the ones that were used to cheat on exams in this class.Students sign up for a Chegg account for a monthly fee. This subscription gives them access tomany services, but the two used for cheating are “homework solutions” and “expert Q&A”.The homework solutions section allows students to search Chegg’s vast database of solvedhomework problems.
