She is not sure how supportive Dr. Hernandez will be since she is already committed to a number of other projects, so she is trying to proceed cautiously and deliberately to convince him that she is capable of handling the extra work. In order to broach the topic with him, she uses the following plan to devise her approach…This particular communication interaction scenario pertains to multiple themes.

research project on more effective teaching in core materials classes, the research questionhere is, "What is the effect on student learning and attitude of differing modes of feedback fromstudents' Muddiest Point reflections?" One method is to restructure the notes from a given classand place the set on Blackboard so the new notes respond to student issues raised in MuddiestPoints. This can reinforce class learning, clarify muddy points, and potentially assist in solvinghomework problems. A second method is with Class Warm-ups, which consist of a slide or twofor discussion at the beginning of the next class which can help clarify confusing or difficult-to-grasp concepts. Another method is to create Muddiest Point YouTube tutorial screencasts

A tradeoff expectedto be observed is between the speed of obtaining results and getting accurate results. As a result,recommendations are expected for various data sets to ensure fast and accurate results. Thesimulation can also be carried out using Matlab.The case study discusses numerical convergence of simulated space-borne microwaveradiometer measurements of earth brightness

The goal of identifying the characteristics of studentswho do not do homework is to enable appropriate intervention techniques to be developed.
