This step always included questionsintended to point the students in the right direction and a hypothesis for them to predict what wasgoing to happen. [2] Step two provided some background information to the students which related to thechallenge question they were attempting to solve. Pertinent equations were provided as well assome description of how they were to be used. [3] In Step three, the students were asked to show which equations they were going toactually use and how they were going to perform their experiment. This usually involvedquestions relating to how they were going to use their heat flux sensors

lack of SOP background and the potential considerable timeinvestment on learning the topics made them hesitate to teach them right away. Studentlearning experience and performance can also be suffered by an instructor's insufficientSOP expertise, which was indicated by the collected assessment data.Second, for a low-level programming class, such as CS2 and PLC, the teaching scheduleis usually already designed to cover its topics. This means a limited buffer, especially interms of lecture times, for adding new topics. This adds uncertainty to the deployment ofcourse modules even after an instructor plans to teach SOP in his or her class.Third, for a large CS program, it is common that multiple sections of a programmingcourse, are offered in the

Virtual Education Environment Computer-aided instruction (CAI) systems [5] were introduced as early as 1960's as a meansof assisting students outside the classroom. The first CAI programs were either computerizedversions of textbooks, or drill and practice monitors [6] that presented a student with problems andcompared the student’s responses to the pre-scored answers, and if necessary, provided the student withcanned remedial responses. Improvements were continuously made until computer-aidedinstruction systems evolved into intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) [7, 8

In SR simulation, student specifies the T1, T2 values, an excitation angle, the repetitiontime (TR), echo time (TE), and repetition number. Student will observe the vector animation andFID that is generated. In SE simulation, student specifies number of spins, e.g. 10, off-resonancefrequencies randomly distributed between -50 Hz and 50 Hz. Student can observe the animationof all these spin vectors and the aggregated FID signals. In particular, this simulation is veryhelpful in explaining the divergence and refocus of magnetization on x-y plan in SE. Thisexercise is also very long, and it usually takes students two
