shown in Table 7, and by ethnicity in Table 8. Since fourstudents did not pass the intervention course with an “S”, these four students are identified inTables 7 and 8 as “U” for “Unsatisfactory” and are omitted from any further analyses. Inaddition, the seven students who failed to take the post-PSVT:R are identified in Tables 7 and 8as “No Post.”The calculated composite ACT for both TG and CG further broken down by post-PSVT:R scoresfor the TG are shown in Table 9. The CG did not take a second PSVT:R. A t-test between thecalculated composite ACT of the TG and CG indicate a significant difference (p = 0.013)between the two groups suggesting a self-selection bias to opt out of the intervention coursebased on ACT score.

perspective, our design leveraged the principles of radianttemperature control, first pioneered by the Romans, and the concept of the roof-pond coolingsystem, born out of the University of Nebraska during the environmental movement of the1970’s. The team coupled these technologies and designed a unique system that passivelychills the concrete walls during the cooling season. Thermal energy in the form of radiation isabsorbed in the high-mass walls throughout the day, and stored. The system makes use of thecapillary tubes – already embedded in the walls for curing the concrete (i.e. multi-usecomponent) – as a vessel to circulate thermal fluid. The capillary tubes provide a vesselthrough which to circulate water and expel stored heat (a.k.a radiant

, it began with the teacher performing some engaging demonstrationsabout heat transfer. In these demonstrations, the teacher modeled the experimental methods asthe “more knowledgeable other,” and students were shown how to undertake these methods ontheir own in teams.21 The teacher then elicited discussions and reflections on the discrepantevents students witness as s/he and the students “talked science.” The teacher described howexperiments are conducted with controls and a variable, and got students to identify theindependent and dependent variables and the controls. The teacher introduced the concept of heatby first finding out what students thought about it. Then presented the concepts of conduction,convection, and radiation, and performed

preventstudents from finding out answers from those who took the exam earlier. But, if sectionsare taught back to back, the danger is minimized. If out-of-class common exams arescheduled, it is eliminated. Then a single exam can be used, which will save severalhours in creating the exam, and save grading time as well, due to lower startup overhead.Reason #4: Less web site/LMS overhead. Teaching one class means only one course website, and only one course to set up in a learning management system. The sameassignments, grade weights and policies apply to all sections.Reason #5: Fewer meetings of course staff. In most courses, it’s necessary to meet withTA(s) once a week, and this meeting may last an hour. In multi-section courses, a singlemeeting

thestudents build the circuit from the example problem(s) and measure to verify the theory iscorrect. In-class experiments included the following:1. Measure component values – students measure the resistances of all their resistors to verify that they have all the resistors they are supposed to in their packs, and also measure the voltage of their batteries to make sure they are still good. Students seemed surprised to learn that a brand-new 9V battery typically had a voltage of 9.5-9.6 V rather than 9.0 V.2. Ohm’s law – Students connect a 1k resistor in series with the 9V battery and measure voltage across the resistor. Then they measure the current through the resistor, and knowing the value of the resistor, use Ohm’s law to verify that
