, 1990). Boyer’s argumenthas elevated teaching to a level of importance so far not realized. This is because of the fact thatacademia always focuses, on research. It is important to recognize that Ernest Boyer’s proposalactually pioneered the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) movement. This hasresulted in a number of federally and privately funded efforts to improve teaching in colleges anduniversities (Atkinson, 2001). Assessment helps us understand which students learn best under what conditions. Overthe past several years, the author has experimented on a wide variety of research projects and hascollected lot of data on several topics of interest. He has also reported on his findings at anumber of other ASEE conferences

Multiple attempts with hints are permitted, though with modest penalties for each attempt.3.2 Lectures. In general, the Instructor begins each Lecture by projecting thecorresponding Module (PowerPoint slides and/or Moodle pages) onto the screen at thefront of the room. During the first two weeks of the semester, the Modules are reviewednearly in traditional lecture style to ensure that students are exposed to all of the material.However, once the students have become accustomed to downloading and completing the Page
