officers—on how to go about seeking research funding. It does notdiscuss individual programs, though it does offer some suggestions for finding them.Rather, it concentrates on finding out about funding opportunities and building a personalnetwork to enable oneself to compete effectively for them.The first step in getting funded is to come up with an idea. The next step is to find anagency that is interested in the area. Then the researcher must make a credible case that(s)he can make a contribution in the area. Sometimes this is through a single-investigatorproposal, but more and more frequently, it is as a member of a team. In the latter case,networking is crucial.2.

During the second stage, theplastic ball on the top would perform free fall with a string attached. Thus the projectile of theplastic ball will be circular. Since the team assume the initial condition of the ball is v0 = 0 𝑚/𝑠,thus at the beginning of second stage, the total energy is just potential energy where PE = mghwhere m is the mass of the plastic ball and h is the initial height of the ball. After the plastic ballfalls at the bottom location, it will swing back up and collide with a

the previous one (insufficient preparation can create Academic Challenges) and onthe individual characteristic (Personal Challenges). We suggest defining as “readiness” thepersonal attribute characterizing ability to make transition from one educational level to another.While introducing the term “readiness” we shall try to avoid a misunderstanding because thesame term is used for one of the principles in the theory of learning. There are eight principles:readiness, exercise, effect, primacy, recency, intensity, freedom, and requirement in this theory.In this context readiness is a psychology term that means a degree of concentration andeagerness of a student. It is obvious that a student will study better if s/he is ready to learn notonly

In fact, few students admitted to even being familiar with the song. • Songs that had been covered and re-released were often recognized, but students could not identify the original artist. For example, Life is a Highway was associated with Rascal Flatts, and Big Yellow Taxi with multiple artists but not with Joni Mitchell (in fact, the closest students got was John Mitchell). • Even songs considered to be cultural touchstones by the instructor may not have been familiar with the students.

This milestone system added structure tothe project and increased timeliness, but the instructors were confronted with an unanticipatedside effect. If a milestone was completed poorly, and the student(s) received an appropriatelylow grade, there was no motivation to fix the problematic issues. Later, another student wouldneed to put in extra work to compensate for the first weak performance. A corrective action wasnecessary to hold the original student responsible for completing the task without letting the teamfall behind. In the year following the

learned the most from. The statistics lab was more of an “experience” than a lab, and was done using jellybeans rather than a chocolate product (so that all the students could eat the candy at theend and avoid food allergy issues). After a lesson on population statistics and some Excelbasics (focused on statistics and graphing), each team was provided a bag of jelly beansfrom the same company. Teams were to compare their number of each type (flavor) ofjelly bean to the total number as well as the results for all of the teams in the class. Asurvey of the student’s favorite flavor was also done to compare to see if the mostpopular flavor (s) were the most prevalent in the population. While the “lab” was simple,and many of the students were aware
