It was great to see that the students could notunderstand why it would be a problem for anyone. The students found it so intuitive and easythat they just could not believe that this has been a difficult-to-understand concept in the past.While one could argue that the group used for analysis was small, it must be noted that trailerclasses historically perform poorer than regular classes. In the previous Spring semester (2019),the content was presented without the MBE method to a 7 person trailer class. Only 2 studentscould solve the problem correctly.
