applied Intelligent Fast Failure principles. Ingeneral, we believe students may apply IFF principles differently due to the presence (or lack) ofdifferent physical resources, different levels of satisfaction, different personal goals, differentstyles of creativity, and/or different prototyping skills. Although some students made only oneattempt before settling on a final Shoe Tower solution, most tried multiple times beforeproducing their final prototype; the exercise did not set a target number of attempts.A brief summary of statistics for the number of Attempts (i.e., Failure Times) is provided inTable 3 (and illustrated in Figures 4a/b) in two forms: using original data, and using normalizeddata based on Templeton’s 2-step approach15.

+/-grades, so the conversion is A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, etc. We count W’s and CW’sas 0.0, along with F’s. This is consistent with DWF used more generally as a student successmetric, in that it considers an F and a W to be equally unsuccessful.Calc II Grade = (Total grade points) / (Cohort size – Audits – Incompletes)It is possible that there one cohortcould be better prepared for college level work than anothercohort. So we tracked four control variables for each cohort: GenACT: About 70% of our students have either an ACT or an SAT Math score. SAT Math scores are converted to ACT using published concordances.7 If this results in two scores (some students have both ACT and SAT) we take the higher. This is averaged
