It has enormousimplications for government security, economic prosperity and public safety. The number of databreaches in the education sector doubled during 2017, with only the financial and healthcaresectors having more breaches [3].

For this stage, a child should be able to visualizethree-dimensional objects and perceive what they will look like from different viewpoints. Thespatial curriculum in this study aims to fully develop students at this second stage and start layingthe foundational work for the third and final stage of development – combined measurement andprojective skills. An example of the skills acquired in the final stage is the ability to determinewhat size container to use for leftover food or estimating the distance traveled

The numerical scores given to these assignments and exams coulddistract, and sometimes discourage, students from actual learning. From the instructor’sperspective, written exams may not give an accurate evaluation of their students’ understanding asmany different factors may interfere with a student’s ability to answer written exam questions.One alternative assessment instrument is oral assessment.

Although the technical elements of design are important, they were not well balancedand tended to imply that technical design was the dominant and more powerful activity. Forexample, although A5 had the most progressive statements on society integrated throughout theirpaper, when it got down to the actual project it was still heavily focused on the technical. Afterthe students’ first semester, they submitted a proposal document which included “the designteam’s preliminary engineering analysis and design work, [and] a detailed work statement,proposed budget, and project completion schedule” (A5, p.3).

These projects require students to essentially create their own engineering problem from a real-world example, and to perform a parameter study of the important aspects of their chosen system. While this improvement cannot be definitively linked directly to the use of MHP, it is plausible that having students work more independently on their homework may improve their ability to formulate a new problem.At OSU… - Overall, students seemed to appreciate a homework policy where they had to support their answers with written work, as compared to a policy that only required entry of the correct answer into the online system.

It is important that the worksheets areclear and enhance the students learning instead of causing confusion. Poor worksheet design caneasily result in the students spending more time trying to figure out what is being asked than inactually thinking about the concept.One of the key features of the worksheets will be one or more questions to determine if thestudents can transfer the knowledge they should be gaining from the exercises to other situationswhich do not necessarily look like the exercise.
