Those who barely pass the class with a letter grade D are required to repeat theclass to get a grade C or better to enroll in upper division classes where Fluid Mechanics is oneof the prerequisite courses. This setback significantly delays their graduation time.To increase better understanding of the first Midterm’s course materials and improve the averagescore of the first Midterm, students require more time to practice the theory of fluid statics. Thispaper describes a simple change in the course syllabus that was adopted to allow students withmore time to grasp the challenging concepts of the first Midterm.

The firstday of class includes an introduction to the course syllabus – a detailed schedule of course topics,relevant textbook sections, and homework and exam dates – and expected prerequisitebackground per the Course Catalog. To maximize course retention, students are advised toreview topics before class. However, the only incentive is self-motivation. In the past, the authorhas witnessed only a few diligent students who carefully review material prior to class meetings.The newly-created lecture videos are intended to help prepare students before class. The authoris currently creating an online quiz for each video – administered through Cal Poly’s PolyLearn(Moodle) online system – to test for student comprehension and

As weekly take home assignments, students have to reviewcarefully selected sections of the courseware. To assess that they actually complete theassignments, we count as part of their final grade both, the average grades of online labs and theaverage grades of quizzes at the end of each section assigned. Students can take the quizzes andthe labs as many times as they need to pass them. However, the minimum passing grade is 80%.Thus, the course grading policy is as follows:  Homework assignments: 50%  Quizzes: 25%  Labs: 25

They foundthat the biggest benefit of their process was that faculty valued the individualized feedback theyreceived from the other members of their Triangle, as well as the observations they made of theircolleagues’ teaching.

To address these issues, aninstructional delivery framework titled “Tailored Instructions and Engineered Delivery UsingPROTOCOLs” (TIED-UP) has been designed and explored, where mandatory brain-based learningprocedures were used along with a media rich online delivery strategy. This paper summarizes the effortscurrently undertaken to develop this framework based on brain-based learning theories to address some ofthese issues.

Even in a traditional lecturing style notall topics are fully covered by the teacher; some topics are just mentioned and left for the studentto go over the material or to do exercises by themselves.Before this study, the main teaching strategy in all mathematics courses was a traditionalapproach. For this paper, traditional teaching means the main actor is the teacher by lecturingmost of the sessions with minimal or no participation from the students, and with a heavy use ofchalk and blackboard by the teacher. In a traditional class, the instructor explains the topic,solves some exercises, and asks students to solve some others. Then, homework is assigned
