Assessment InstrumentThe goal of the instrument is to place students at their appropriate levels within the taxonomy.The students take a series of three tests starting with fundamental level problems as indicated inthe inventory. The assessment tool has been designed to be simple and easy to implement. It wasdesigned to focus on the student's conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Theassessment instrument provides an essential guide for the instructor to assess the student’sproblem-solving skills that also require covering the conceptual knowledge; this is reflected inthe distribution of the score weights among the competencies.

AD)During the Baroque period, music became complicated, ornamented melodies. Themusic was dramatic, flowery, emotional, and reflected the spirit of the times.Technically, music contained formal order based on repetition and ornamentation. In thisperiod, new types of compositions, such as concertos, sonatas, cantatas, operas, andoratorios, for many different combinations of instruments and vocal ranges were created.5.5. Classical (1750 AD-1800 AD)After the complicated Baroque period, the Classical period emerged. This periodcontained a new, cleaner sound. Music compositions were based on simple short themes,unlike the Baroque period. During this period, composers exploited graduated sound andspace, repetition, and simplification of music.5.6

NASA has accomplished its educationalobjectives by following a well-established structure and leveraging its resources to accomplishprogram goals. NASA has notably committed to education since its creation in 1958. Thisstrong commitment has been continuously reflected in the agency's Strategic Plan, in whicheducation is viewed as important as space exploration.

This is animportant concept in the marketing New Product Development process and is enumerated in theCrawford and Benedetto text that is used in that class.

In its traditional form, a single discount rate and a single set of cash flows are used to reflect all the expectations about the future cash flows. In the probabilistic variation, the analyst develops alternative DCF scenarios and then estimates the probability of each. The discount rate in a probabilistic model should

The students gain a working familiarity with one or more of the available equation solving programs, and it is stressed that the programs, as well as the general approach to problem solving, has a carryover to their other courses.

Student oral presentations are of high quality, and the writtenprogress reports and the final report on the completed project reflect the time and effort necessaryto produce documentation of professional-looking quality.
