These strategies includedeffective communication, modeling homework problems, reducing coursework load, andincreasing time to complete coursework. Findings indicate that students were highly satisfied withthe implementation of these practical strategies. Collectively, the Communication, Initiation,Reduction, and Extension (CIRE) framework functioned as pedagogical and instructional supportsto address both instructional and socioemotional challenges that many students encountered duringthe shift to remote instruction.

based on the given input. The team chose thismethod initially because they were more familiar with Matlab’s syntax and thought it would bethe easiest to implement based on their skill set at the time. However, after some research, the teamfound that they could create similar code inside of a Simulink block fashioned in the form of eithera state flow machine or a transition table. One member of the team began writing code for thefinite state machine model while another observed and learned. The observing student thenimplemented similar code into a transition table. After a while, the team came to the realizationthat the state flow machine and the transition table were nearly identical in their function to theproject and asked Quanser for advice
