Paper ID #30062Replacing Graded Homework Assignments in StaticsProf. Charles S White, Norwich University Prof. White received BS, MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from M.I.T. He has worked in government research (U.S. Army Materials Technology Lab), private industry (Gillette/P&G, The Velcro Companies, Saint-Gobain) and academia (Northeastern University, Norwich University). His return to academia in 2018 resulted from a desire to give back and share his experiences. Particular areas of exper- tise include constitutive modeling for mechanical behavior of materials, consumer product development, and

A reaction at A would be equal and opposite (0 correct answers) of F1. It's my understanding that a single force cannot have a couple moment so it wouldn't have a couple but I'm still unsure on certain applications of couples.

Comments revealed that passive classroom activities were not as“enjoyable” to this student, but their motivation was still high compared to other students due toconsistently low amotivation and relatively high identified regulation. Student 7520’s lowest SDIof 7.5 corresponded to the passive lecture L5STF, commenting that “A PowerPoint on a Fridayis kind of hard to pay attention to, especially when the lectures are typically more engaged.”Student 7520’s responses

the DCIThe idea for a DCI began at a Mini-Conference on Undergraduate Education in Dynamics,Vibrations, and Strength of Materials that occurred in September 2002 [1]. The Force ConceptInventory (FCI) had been around since the early 1990’s and was recognized as beingsuccessful in spurring innovation in physics education [2]. At this meeting, participants agreedthat a Dynamics Concept Inventory could potentially provide the same benefits for dynamicsinstruction. A DCI team was formed and first met at the Concept Inventory Workshop at the2002 Frontiers in Education Conference in Boston (November 2002). The NSF-fundedFoundation Coalition was a key driver behind the development of the DCI and other conceptinventories.The DCI was developed using a

This process isquite messy and time-consuming. For several years, specimens for the class were made as largepanels from prepreg materials and then cut into individual specimens with an abrasive saw. Thismethod was also time-consuming and did not involve the students in the fabrication process.The development of “out of autoclave” prepreg materials as a cost-saving measure in aerospaceapplications has been ongoing since the mid-1990’s [5].

Thus, the authors decided to reformat the procedures in a numbering, hierarchicalscheme such that each step would be followed accordingly (Figure 3). This modificationeliminated the need of having to search in multiple paragraphs for necessary information anddeciding what to implement. In addition, the revised manual specified exactly the type of table(s)needed for recording experimental data. This allowed students to include

3’s was about the same. It is fascinating that in the span of 3 midterm exams, the performance of “corequisite” group improved by nearly 20 points, to the point that their overall mean score was statistically better than the “prerequisite” group (with up to 94% confidence), a complete reversal of the results of Exam 1. It is clear in this case that the “corequisite” group of students started to develop a better understanding of the course material between the first and second exams and continued to improve until the end of the quarter.  On the cumulative Final Exam, which was identical in the two quarters, the two groups performed in a virtually identical manner. This suggests that by the
