First-Year Programs

Development Program) in the early 1980's, the RESP curriculum aims for the mostdifficult parts of first-year calculus, chemistry, and physics. In other words, RESP is notremedial.Put another way, RESP’s guiding philosophy is to give students the chance to have a badsemester, if one is coming, without impacting their academic record and with ample support todevelop new skills for student’s new collegiate setting. Students do not receive course credit, toremove the threat of permanently codifying poor performance on a student’s transcript. Thisdiffers from models that offer course credit, which carries the risk of permanent academicconsequences. During the summer, students build resilience as well as technical skills and entertheir fall semester aware

With no solid solubility, a supersaturatedsolid solution cannot be created.

In fact, smartphones have already been leveragedin educational settings to sense parameters of physical systems such as the rotational energy of apendulum by attaching the smartphone to a bicycle wheel and measuring the angular velocitythrough the embedded gyroscope.5 Even as this application of rigidly mounting the smartphoneto the system exploits the embedded sensing capability of these devices
