Orange dye was used to color the bottom layerof salt water and blue dye was used to color the top fresh water layer in order to create a visibleinterface between the two fluids. The tube was slowly tilted off the horizontal to an 8° tilt angle in3.5 s. Waves developed after the tilt angle had been set and the growth of the waves is visible inFigure 3. When the tube has reached the 8° tilt angle, we see that the displacement of theinterface between the two fluids is most evident at both ends of the tube and that the interface inthe middle section

Beforethe semester started, faculty were provided with Figure 1, the PROCESS rubric, and acomprehensive user guide complete with code definitions and grading examples to help themdetermine whether they wanted to utilize PROCESS in their classroom instruction as a problemsolving structure. In addition, all course sections were assigned a graduate teaching assistant thatparticipated in a four-hour interactive training session on grading with

(1955) Hakimi (1962)). Let S = (d1 , · · · , dn ) be a finite list ofnonnegative integers that is nonincreasing. List S is graphic if and only if the finitelist S = (d2 − 1, d3 − 1, · · · , dd1 +1 − 1, dd1 +2 , · · · dn ) has nonnegative integers and isgraphic. The algorithm then follows a recursive method where the theorem is used withS = S until S = {0}. Generating Random Graphs Once we determined the classroom networks in question were graphical, we wantedto generate a random graph from the degree sequence that was likely to representthe network structure of the data. The inspiration came from a popular methodin statistics called bootstrapping. Using Havel-Hakimi Algorithm, a program waswritten in python and

the Simulink model the pulses in thesignal are counted and converted to an angular velocity. Since direction is not important in this setof experiments only one photo interrupter was used. However, a second photo interrupter couldbe added if direction is needed in the future.Motor DriverSince the voltage and current required for the motor are too high to be directly sourced by theRaspberry Pi, an additional power supply and H-bridge were used to drive the motor. A variableDC power supply that has 1.5V increments from 3V to 12V was selected. However, 4 AAbatteries could also be used. The SoftPWM library from the WiringPi libraries was used inanother Simulink S-function driver to generate the pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal to drivethe H
week for grading it). Thus, the students may strugglewith their misconceptions for a long time, largely hindering the study of further knowledge basedon prior materials, which is especially the case for Statics.4-6 Although the in-person help forhomework assignments can be achieved by required or optional problem sessions, these sessionswould consume extra time of the instructor(s). Many schools start to offer statics as an onlineclass, but it is still delivery as video lecture format,7 and the students still normally work onhomework assignments outside the assigned online lecture period without the instantaneoushelps from the instructor(s).In recent years, flipped classroom (or inverted classroom) approach has been introduced as analternative
