It was essential that the students acquired a verystrong foundation of the fundamental principles. Statics is used as a very important foundationcourse for a variety of subsequent topics such as strength of materials, dynamics, fluidmechanics, machine elements, machine design, manufacturing processes, etc. It is observedthat this category recorded the maximum possible score of 5 on the Likert scale. Thisindicates that the instructor did cover the material. The author is extremely pleased with thisresult.

Instructors assign andgrade homework to help students learn the material for better overall exam performance. This isthe conventional belief in most of the academic community. It is only logical to think thatpractice improves performance in academic studies as it does in many other endeavors.In 2002, Peters et al.1 studied the correlation between homework and exam performance in anOperations Management course. The study was designed with two treatments: one treatment wasassigned homework and it was collected while the other treatment was assigned the samehomework but it was not collected. This study
