The next six questions were asked to understand thestudents’ perceptions and attitudes about the independent study/undergraduate research theyundertook during their undergraduate years. The last two questions were open-ended and askedto see what kind of transferable skills they gained, how the study will help them in their careerplans, and finally any comments/suggestions they might have. The independent study here reallymeans undergraduate research study as the participants involved in the survey wereundergraduate research students. Q.1.

A follow up studentsurvey was done three weeks after the lecture adjustment was made. The student survey datashows that after the adjustment of lecturing and pathing, the lecture delivery method wasimproved to 92% from 56% while the student’s understanding of the materials was increased to98% from 71%. The teaching strategies to improve the student’s learning experience wereconsidered effective. The adjusted lecture materials and instructional pathing have beendocumented and will be used for the next semester.KeywordsStudent survey, Classroom Dynamics

These surveys, aimed at capturingstudents’ perceptions and satisfaction levels, were administered anonymously using GoogleForms. Students were asked to rate their agreement with various statements on a scale from1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), covering aspects such as their preparedness byprevious courses, the clarity and usability of the lab manual, and the adequacy of lab time,as enumerated below: ● Q.1 - Logic Circuit Design (ENGR 2332) prepared me for the concepts and work in the Digital Design Lab (ENGR 2323). ● Q.2 - The

Thechange in score was calculated for each individual, and histograms, Q-Q Plots and theShapiro-Wilks test were used to evaluate the normality of this data [9]. A paired pre/post t-testwas employed to evaluate the differences in the EERI scores from the first to the fourth year.This test was chosen for its effectiveness in comparing two related samples.ResultsInitially, the P score, which measures postconventional thinking based on universal good, had amean pre-score of 60.62 (SD = 17.59). Over four years, it decreased to a mean post-score of57.24 (SD = 19.37

A pivotal mathematical model within CDMs is the Deterministic Inputs, Noisy "and" Gate(DINA) model, which assesses mastery or non-mastery statuses across multiple cognitive skillsbased on raw question responses [21], [24]. The DINA model, a latent class model, classifiesstudents into skill mastery profiles based on their responses to exam questions, with each questionhaving a specific relation to one or more skills [21], [24]. The linkage between questions and theircorresponding intended skills are captured in a Q-matrix, a matrix of ones and zeros indicatingwhich questions require a particular skill in

The results also showed that the homework hada weak positive correlation with exam performance.The present paper further aims to assess the efficacy of the pedagogy by examining studentengagement and student performance across multiple cohorts of the course. Learningmanagement system tools, like chat and polling, were previously shown to be effectivequalitative methods for overcoming the passive learning behavior exhibited by EFL students.Thus, a comparison by cohort and in aggregate were performed for the following: studentparticipation at each synchronous Q&A session using the chat feature, student polling

It is an extension of Q-learning that uses deep neural networks toapproximate the Q-value function. This works with discrete observation space and discrete actionspace. The key equation for DQN involves updating the weights of the neural network to minimizethe loss function, which is typically the mean squared error between the predicted Q-values and thetarget Q-values. The function for DQN can be expressed as [20] 𝑄(𝑠𝑡 , 𝑎𝑡

Throughout the semester, instructors prioritize applied fluid-thermoconcepts. In addition, it allows students to study deeper into topics of interest, includingconcepts, equations, applications, and emerging technologies. Moreover, students gain valuableinsights from peers’ presentations while receiving feedback and detailed explanations frominstructors during Q&A sessions. Additionally, these presentations inspire the development ofnew labs for continuous course improvement in subsequent semesters. The survey and courseevaluations results
