 Reading the text, slides and working the problems helps; and getting questions answered in class too  Practice, Practice, Practice. What I find most helpful is working problems, both homework and in class activities.  I like working on the problems in a flipped classroom because it is giving me a chance to see what I had been doing wrong in the homework.  The class activities give us a chance of solving the problems with our peers discussing the concepts that helps.  Class activities are helping me.But, basis can be discussed in a more clear way before starting with the class activity.  I do like having a work day on fridays where we are simply working on the classroom assignments

This lack of academic resources is reflective of thesocioeconomic disparity between regions.

North Carolina students’ average National Assessment ofEducational Progress (NAEP) math score for fourth graders was four points higher than thenational average of 240 in 2015.

Rather than conduct a quasi-experimental design with a selection of GTAs participating incase analysis and others not, we instead used mixed qualitative and quantitative methods tocollect and analyze data solely from participants who experienced the use of case analysis in theirfirst semester of graduate school. This paper focuses in particular on two quantitative measures(survey data and student performance) and on two qualitative measures (case discussion recordsand reflective writings). We give a summary of the data within each of those four categoriesseparately. However, the nature of the research questions is such that a more significant analysisinvolves integration of those

An engineering program is required totrain the student for life-long learning, to work professionally and ethically in multi-disciplinaryteams, to communicate orally, and in writing technical documentation [3][4][5]. Such anengineering program is often required to be accredited by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), which has been continually increasing its emphasis on theintegration of system design into the engineering curriculum [6]. In fact, one of the criteria of anaccredited undergraduate engineering program is to prepare for engineering practice through thecurriculum, culminating in a major design

TheSpearman’s Rho correlation was nearly 0 and statistically insignificant (ρ = -0.029, p = 0.811).While students would generally argue that additional time would result in a higher exam score,they typically fail to account for similar increases in their peers scores. Students are also unlikelyto dramatically overcome exam unpreparedness with additional time.
