When a professor walks into class, opens up the course folder tothe sticky note marking the spot the previous lesson stopped, and begins at that point to try anddetermine what to discuss in class, precious student contact time is wasted.18 The lesson canquickly disintegrate into a stream of consciousness with an occasional concept being placed inany empty space

Fig- 7. Chemical composition of Al foam strutsThe microfatigue testing system used for LIGA Ni samples were slightly modified to test Alfoam struts. The fatigue tests were conducted under load control using the feedback signal of aload cell and the actuator position data from the position monitor of the piezoelectric actuator.Samples were mounted on the same special grips (Fig. 6) used for microtensile loading of foamstruts. A series of images taken from a foam strut during deformation are shown in Fig. 8. It isinteresting to note that deformation starts at lower half of the strut Fig. 8(a-b); nevertheless, themain fracture gets initiated (Fig. 8-c) and proceeds in the upper half of the strut (Fig. 8d-f).

Several studies show little or no relationshipbetween grade point average and student ratings.7,8,10,11 At the same time, other studies yieldedlow but positive correlations (0.10 to 0.30) between ratings and expected grades.4,7,10,12,17In examining the relationship between average SSTE scores and self-reported GPA, the UHresults showed no significant influence of GPA on SSTE rankings.

The standarddeviation level systematic uncertainty estimate for an error source is usually made by making a 95% confidenceestimate of the limits of the error for that source and dividing that estimate by 2 [6]. The second term in Eq. (3)accounts for systematic errors that have the same source and are correlated.

Such studies support Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory which represents humansas self-regulating individuals rather than individuals who function solely on reactions to internalor external events.15 He introduced the concept of self-efficacy beliefs, an individual’s beliefsthat he or she has the abilities necessary to complete specific criterial tasks (e.g. complete anengineering major with a grade point average of B or better), as a major contributor to humanbehavior. Specifically, individuals’ beliefs and behaviors are explained as “reciprocalinteractions among personal, behavioral, and environmental factors.”16 Beyond connecting students’ self-efficacy beliefs to
