This type of class environment can be a shock to these students as they are comfortablewith a well-structured, teacher-led lecture format. As such, many of the students struggle to keepup with the work in both online Math 143 and Trigonometry classes since they most likely havenot fully developed their time management skills.In addition, the College of Engineering’s Introduction to Engineering courses at the University ofIdaho are major-specific with no general
