It also compares report grades from previous semesters to the gradesfrom the 2014 and 2015 formats. Results of a student survey and a concept quiz, as well asvarious observations about student performance, pitfalls, and planned modifications are alsoincluded.1.

It shares many characteristics with traditionalengineering design processes, but for the purposes of this work, the following elements are theemphasis. In particular, this course promotes the Agile methodology, which is supposed toachieve the same results without imposing onerous, administration-heavy overhead.1 Agile is nota substitute for proper planning and execution, however, so this freedom demands discipline,which is generally lacking in students at this stage of their

In other words, this planning allows the instructor to create theunified and concise message that is so critical to the success of this method. During this stage,the instructor should assemble a thorough list of all main topics and supporting details to beincluded in the lecture, thus ensuring that none of the relevant topics are omitted from the notes.An inspection of this list of topics and subtopics will reveal that some topics

It essentially consists of three phases (1) identifying desired results (2) determiningacceptable evidence and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction. Moreover, thisapproach does not alienate assessment from learning rather considers it to be part of the learningprocess. Hence, the faculty thinks about the resources and experiences along with ways to assessstudent learning.The instructors therefore started the design process with laying down the learning outcomes ofthe course.

Methods include ensuringparticipant anonymity, avoiding bias simply through collecting data, and balancing efficiencywith accuracy.
