The Covid-19 pandemic hit early in the Spring 2020 semester. ASU’s response to the pandemic was rapidand massive. For ground and online programs like software engineering, the response included synchronous modalitieslike Zoom, but also leveraged the assets pre-existing for the online program.

that students weremore engaged and asked more questions during Nearpod lectures. During the Nearpod lecturesstudents asked 2-3 times as many questions as the non-Nearpod lectures. Survey results showedthat the students overwhelmingly rated Nearpod as helpful to their learning and materialretention. Based on the results of the survey, Nearpod should be incorporated into all mycomputer science classes.1 IntroductionMany students think of computer science as a difficult topic to learn6,7. Teachers struggle toconvey the complex topics and dropout rates in introductory computer science courses arehigh6,7. Teaching today is made even more difficult by the fact that modern students are oftenlooking at their phones during class time. Some research
implementation considerations to maximize the benefit of oral exams as an assessmenttool, an intervention to promote deep learning, and a learning activity to increase studentsmotivation and self-efficacy. To address the scalability challenges, we also developed trainingmaterials to prepare assessors to adopt equity mindset and proper techniques to communicatewith students during oral exams. We also explored how to better prepare students for oralexams, both mentally and technically.In this workshop, we will: 1) Share findings from a three-year NSF-funded study on the impact oforal exams that have been implemented in several engineering courses multiple times over thethree years; 2) Describe various oral exam implementation models; 3) Discuss the

. However, a case can be made that some non-linear systems can be discussed inthe context of feedback loops and mixers, which leads to the study of chaotic systems, i.e. non-linear systems that oscillate non-harmonically in patterns that are extremely sensitive to initialconditions.An example of a chaotic system is the forced van der Pol oscillator governed by the second-orderdifferential equation is shown in (1), 𝑥 − 𝜇(1 − 𝑥 2 )𝑥 + 𝑥 = 𝐴cos 𝜔𝑡 (1)where 𝜇 ≥ 0 is a damping parameter. The oscillator in general does not have an analyticsolution. For 𝐴 = 0 and𝜇 = 0, the signal 𝑥(𝑡) is a harmonic oscillator with period 𝑇 = 10. For𝐴 = 0 and 𝜇 > 0, 𝑥(𝑡) oscillates
