’ self-assessments. As such, students’ self-assessments should not be used in program or course assessment, at least in Statics, as anythingother than a supplement to direct assessment measures. It is possible that students’ self-assessments do reflect something of value and interest, such as confidence, that could be usefulin the improvement of instruction and course material, but they do not show a strong orconsistent correlation with performance on actual problems in Statics.Bibliography1.

compared.6,7 The existing literature about TFIDF describes it as atechnique used to classify documents based on keywords and modifiers. Specifically, TFIDF isused to describe documents using hierarchical subclasses, or other creative methods where thealgorithm is used repeatedly per subclass. For example, a keyword for a computer hardware partmight be described as “comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware”, and this is an example of where thealgorithm is used repeatedly in a loop within each subclass. From a computational perspectivethis puts a large load on the processor(s), and as such is quite intensive, but the results aregenerally accurate. Although we are not using a repeated looping method within subclasses forthis study, we can still use the TFIDF to
