The usualmethod for comparing percentages or proportions when the samples (i.e., numerators) are large isthe z-test of proportions, as described by Agresti28. However, when the samples are small, as inour case, a better and equivalent approach is Fisher’s Exact Test, also discussed by Agresti28. Inaddition, since multiple TDOP categories were tested for differences, as shown in Table 1,Bonferroni’s correction for multiple comparisons was applied29, 30. The Bonferroni correctionreduces the alpha level applied to each individual test so that the family

These andother topics will be explored as we delve into the new (yet old) environment of online learningduring Covid.BackgroundThroughout the early 2000’s, education over the internet was debated. Some felt it would be atransformative power that would equalize education across time, space, gender, income andnation. Others felt that nothing could take the place of in-person education and anything elsewas inferior. Some universities jumped on the MOOC bandwagon (Massive Open OnlineCourses). Others saw no merit in offering massive courses for little or no credit to multitudes ofpeople for free.There were also many interpretations of online learning throughout the early 2000’s.

Theprimary pedagogical objective for this project was to provide students with practical experience inmodeling and analysis. They were encouraged to experiment with modeling choices (for boundaryconditions, for example) and assess the consequences of those choices on the responses they weremost interested in (usually stress and deformation). In many cases, students selected projects basedon
