evidence that student thinking when completing the task (item) was consistentwith the type of reasoning that developers intended.12 Additionally, we completed two rounds ofdata collection with the full instrument (i.e., all items) and conducted quantitative analyses ofthese larger data sets to assess item and instrument performance.13, 14 These analyses resultshelped us revise items and update the domain model. Finally, we used a Q-matrix to documentthe mapping between item answers (correct and incorrect) with the normative concepts andmisconceptions specified in our evolving domain model.Examples of Redesign ProcessesQ-matrixTo provide more detail, we walk through examples of some of these critical redesign processes.First, one product that
take initial hardness readings on each of three specimens(carbon steel, 1.5 to 2 inches wide, 3/16 inch thick, minimum 3 inches long). Test a series ofpositions at 1/8” intervals from the end to be worked into a chisel. Assuming readings seemconsistent, you may stop after 3 readings each.Part B –Two Hot-Worked Chisels (“A” – Air Cooled, “Q” – Quenched) 1. Heat one end of each piece until orange in color (≈1800 to 2000ºF), as depicted in Figure 1A. 2. Work the chisel edge into the specimens by hammering them at the anvil. Hold the cool end with pliers and hammer the heated end flat. While hammering, rotate the plates so that each side is flattened. Figure 1A

Specifically, this paper details the development of the items and face and contentvalidity for the Postsecondary Student Engagement Survey (PosSES). The instrument development is guided by a thorough literature review, web searches, a Q-studyusing focus group meetings, a panel of experts, and finally, think aloud sessions to determineface and content validity. The instrument measures positive and negative involvement outcomesand factors that promote and prevent participation decisions in out-of-class activities; andengineering identification, sense of belonging, engineering major
linear applications because they believe that the gainsthat can be realized by MOSFET amplifiers are too low to bother with. 3,4 However, if they arecarefully biased and utilized at frequencies below 100KHz, gains from a MOSFET amplifier canpractically approach 50 while offering much higher input impedances, as mentioned above. Thisis possible because the gain parameter of a MOSFET, its transconductance (yfs), is a function ofits bias point (Q point). In contrast, the current gain function of a BJT (hFE) is approximatelyconstant over most its range of bias points, relative to a MOSFET.Practical MOSFET Amplifier DesignProblem Definition and Design ConstraintsGiven a specific input voltage (Vi = 50mVp which is the approximate output amplitude of

The Page 26.1736.7ranking philosophy behind HITS is a mutually reinforcing relationship: “a good hub is a page thatpoints to many good authorities; a good authority is a page that is pointed to by many goodhubs” 11 . HITS is usually implemented in an iterative manner. In each iteration, the updating rulesfor the authority value Auth(p) and hub value Hub(p) of page p are formulated as Auth(p) ← Hub(q) (5

case studycharter describing the U.S. retailers recycle program was distributed in class and posted on theclass website on Tuesday October 14th. Attached to the case study was a series of appendicesdescribing wooden pallets, the recycling flow of pallets, shrink wrap, and cardboard, and a layoutof a regional distribution center for this large U.S. retailer. Some data regarding pallet numbers,pallet recycle pricing, deliveries to and from retail stores, numbers of pallets on recycletruckloads, among other items were unclear from the initial charter. A 2 hour question andanswer (Q&A) session was held on the night of Tuesday October 28th. During this session, theinstructor attempted to explain the charter in as much detail as he possibly

The quantity and distribution of verbal participationfrom individuals during each Q&A discussion was also calculated. Although limited in scope,results of this first study suggest a correlation between the duration of Q&A sessions,distribution of communication responsibility among individual team members, and final productselection. Furthermore, a total of 23 out of 24 students (96%) on Team A and 20 out of 24students (83%) on Team B asked and/or answered questions during the discussions throughoutthe meeting, suggesting that the stress and emotion of the high

In a typical flipped class, the instructor assigns preview materials to students based on whatshe/he thinks they need to learn. Students complete the homework before schoolwork begins;then the instructor goes through key materials during the class time with a mixture of lecturesand/or exercises. The homework and schoolwork materials are same/similar in nature and aremostly based on what the instructor thinks students need to learn. With inverted learning, theinstructor first assigns pre-class study
