Frequently,students were able to leave those sessions knowing if their work that day met the standard or ifthey would need a third attempt. Between a first and second attempt, students were left to theirown devices to determine how to remediate their understanding. They were welcome to seekextra instruction, but not required to do so. Between the second and third attempt, however, theywere required to discuss their particular issues with the instructor before continuing the examcycle. Institutional administrative constraints prevented dis-enrolling students from the course fornot demonstrating required

unwillingness to answer the question.Some students expressed frustration about the fact that even if they have already applied whatthey perceive are effective learning strategies, their performance in the class was stillunsatisfactory (“I don't know… I put more effort into learning this material than all of myclasses combined, and then some more. To say that I was disappointed in the results is anunderstatement.”) There are a select few, however, who chose to provide ambiguous responses(“Nothing”; “N/A”; “not applicable”) or expressed unwillingness to comment on their learningprocess as part of the survey (This is a bad question please stop asking it. It[’s] not relevant, Iget it I could [have] done more but that’s not point of the spot surveys”). The

Students claimed that understanding how a hanging chain’s shape isdetermined from equilibrium helped solidify their understanding of how an arch is able to stand,and that a catenary is the optimal shape for an arch. Students also commented on theirunderstanding that the “[s]urface area of the blocks affects stability” and that “friction plays acrucial role in keeping the blocks together”.The Tanks and Culverts activity displayed positive results for understanding how granular mediabehaves in pipe structures. Most students seemed to grasp how gravity, in conjunction withfriction, produces the

model shows thebenefits this model incorporated into students’ learning.Introduction:With the advancement of the internet, the use of online modules as a form of learning has beendeveloping fast over the past decades. Some universities go with full online courses and othersgo to blended learning solutions. A flipped classroom is one way that allows for blendedlearning. Flipped classroom models have been widely used as an effective method to change theinteraction of the students and the instructor during lectures. Students learn the material at theirown time and at their own pace, and come to class prepared to interact and solve problems withthe instructor (R. Pierce and J. Fox , 2012; J. L. Bishop and M. A.

As a second step to the project, students were to use theannotation tools on the website to mark up the photos provided by the other student(s) in theirgroup, graphically identifying which members were subjected to the various loading conditionsof tension, compression, bending, or shear, and identifying the directions in which the forces ormoments were applied. This first minor project allowed students to communicate a little bitabout themselves as they worked together, in addition to providing them with some simple butcritical experience

on areas that theywere weak in based on performance on previous problems. Our hope was that this would helpdirect students’ study habits and improve overall learning. Also, for this semester the number ofin class quizzes was further reduced, with 4 quizzes for statics and 2 for dynamics. Also thestatics exam was given over 2 class periods, as a common time for both sections of students wasnot available due to the students’ schedules.
