basic calculus and/or physicscourses plan to continue their studies in math or physics beyond those courses. Most of thesestudents only sign up for beginning calculus and/or physics classes to satisfy general educationrequirements or to finish the prerequisites for further study [9].We argue that students' struggles with learning and comprehending numerous subjects andconcepts in these courses may be one factor in their lack of interest in these courses. The majorgoal of this study is to find a calculus-based solution so that students may comprehend the ideaand use of calculus in a circumstance or problem from real life. More precisely, we wanted todetermine how students comprehend and use concepts such as problem-solving (e.g., Hooke's law

grading approach, the author faced many obstacles andchallenges, which required extra thought and planning for the future semesters. For instance,many students procrastinated and only came for reassessments at the end of the semester,causing long lines outside the office during office hours. This was a heavy burden for theinstructor and left insufficient time for providing individualized feedback, which was the purposeof the office hour reassessments. The unlimited number of attempts did not sufficiently motivatestudents to perform better on their first tries. It also generated an excessive amount of grading.The author needs to reevaluate the number of reassessments allowed and encourage students toreflect and review before

The solution can potentially help identify faults or detectfuture failures in rotating machinery on a real-time edge-analytics based system.

The observations and calculations made in the laboratory experiment demonstrated that both manual and circuit addition and subtraction are effective and accurate when it comes to adding and subtracting 4-bit binary numbers. The laboratory experiment showed that circuits can be utilized to simplify and decrease the time needed to perform each individual binary addition and subtraction calculation.

A significantchallenge is how proper assessments can be conducted fairly. Academic practice is affectedsignificantly by the symbiotic relationship between the increasing number of onlineexaminations and contract cheating services. For instance, controlling the online assessmentenvironment is more challenging than controlling the onsite one. Cheating in a remotelyproctored online testing (RPOT) environment is a planned undertaking rather than panic cheatingbecause students complete their exams in isolation in their comfort zone [4].
