it’s the other way around, and people are expecting gay men, like, there’s no way you could be acting like that in a technical position… (Brian) I guess there’s this assumption that, “oh, you’re a lesbian, you’re kind of butch, you are definitely kind of more guy-ish, so it would make sense that you are an engineer, because guys are engineers”…I think, for straight women, it’s like, “oh, you’re pretty, you would want a social type of major.” Researcher (Q)uestion: Do you think the way that other students see competence in engineering aligns with that? Um, yeah. I actually think so. Because I’m, I guess, not a stereotypical female, or what is socially constructed as a

Patrick Quin describes Aquinas’Super de Trin.2.4 “that theological truth is best transmitted to the faithful in parabolic form… itmight, he thinks, confuse the uneducated who would misunderstand it and be ridiculed byunbelievers who detest it anyway” [10]. Aquinas states: “…it is said in Luke 8:10, ‘To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables.’ Therefore one ought by obscurity in speech conceal the sacred truths from the multitude” (Pars 1 q. 2 a. 4 s. c. 3). “…the words of a teacher ought

SIstudents who had less programming experience (potentially through systemic educationalinequities) than their advantaged counterparts, also had statistically significant higher courseGPAs when compared to non-SI students who had the same prior experience. The teamdetermined several emerging themes from the survey and interview responses, such as aburgeoning sense of community, comfort with peers over time, accountability and structure, andan awareness of SI session activities as diverse and different than other learning experiences. Wehypothesize these all had strong

These quizzesincentivized keeping up with the course material and gave the students a way to immediatelysolidify their learnings. The third challenge was that online learning isolated students andrequired new mechanisms to prevent them from becoming passive observers. Offering onlinesynchronous lectures gave students a chance to ask and answer questions in real-time. We alsoobserved massive growth in students’ usage of Piazza—an online Q&A platform used in thecourse. Finally, moving online motivated a revamp of the processes used for coordinating labsand marking exams

Compared with the study component shown in Figure 1, the right-sidedisplay panel is replaced with a Q&A panel.We can see from Figure 7 that the user interface of the quiz component is similar to that of the study component,except for several major differences.

Consider the types of questions that will promote an interesting discussion (opinion questions, hypothetical questions, questions about how your classmates might react in a given situation, and so forth). Also think about asking follow-up questions if you want to advance a particular point. However, always be keenly aware of the clock and curtail class discussion when necessary to stay within your time limit.

We check both the submissionagainst the answer and the answer against the submission due to the possible algebraiccombination of terms.

andquiescent (Q) point was described with a four-resistor bias network. The lab exercise for thatday was to build a biasing network and measure the voltages and currents and set the Q-point forthe transistor. The next section discussed the MOSFET as an amplifier and the idea of usingcapacitors to block DC voltages while passing AC signals in and out for amplification. Thestudents then added the appropriate capacitors to their circuit and measured the AC voltage gainat a fixed frequency. The last segment discussed the coupling capacitors and bias network ashigh-pass filters on the input and output. The students then measured the frequency response ofthe amplifier and compared it to expectations for the combined high-pass filters. Results
