latter group was found to have higher finalexam grades implying greater improvement.Juhler et al. [7] examined the test and retest scores for 1,314 students who completed anintermediate algebra course. For each of seven chapter tests, if the student achieved less than a Bgrade, they could opt to take a retake. The score on the retake replaced the original test score,regardless of whether it was an improvement, but was limited to a B grade. On average, studentswere eligible to take 5.30 retakes and opted to take 2.31 retakes. The majority (88-95%) ofstudents who took the retake improved their score. However, there was no significant correlationbetween the number of retakes and the final exam score.Abraham [8] offered 150 students in intuitive

Toachieve these objectives, this research (a) analyzed the different civil engineering programs thatinclude wind engineering tracks offered worldwide and identified the academic institutions thathave academic expertise and equipment including atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) windtunnels, a fundamental tool for the research and study of wind events; (b) conducted a survey toall WE faculty and students doing research on these topics at Florida International University togather information on the courses offered and the intention of the course, as well as informationon

Compose a song about challenging statics topics and perform it (group project is possible –virtual choir, virtual piano trio, virtual quartet, etc.). For example, you can use an existing song, and write lyrics about Statics topics. b. Create a painting or artwork on the most challenging statics

first-year engineering curriculum completewith a computer programming for engineers course and an engineering design course. Thepedagogy for both courses is built on the concept of active, hands-on learning designed to impartknowledge in a given subject area while developing collaboration and cooperation among first-year students. The two hands-on activities presented in this paper were originally designed anddeveloped for first-year students. The “Sound Activity” was first implemented in the computerprogramming for engineering students course in Fall 2019 and modified to its current state (SeeAppendix A.) in Spring 2021. The accompanying worksheet (See Appendix B.) is used by studentsto collect data and submit for grading. The activity is

studentshave become quite expert in accumulating the points needed for the grade they desire at theexpense of their learning and development as engineers. We observed students who desire a B,only doing the exact amount of work needed for the B and no more. Tragically leaving criticallearning “on the table.” Students who desired only a C, knowing that if only 70% of mastery isrequired for their goal, they would put forth only that effort. Obviously, this is not a summary orjudgement of all students. These were observations that spurred our investigation into alternativegrading philosophies that could ameliorate these conditions while providing the gains inengineering formation we desired in our students.
