Expectations are not specificto individual mechanisms, but the same expectation can be internalized differently depending onthe student and the context. More specifically, compounding, conflicting, and triangulating ofexpectations describe dynamic ways in which expectations interact with often amplified impactson the emotional experiences of students.Compounding ExpectationsCompounding expectations are defined as expectations from multiple sources that encourage asimilar set of behaviors.

Although the unfamiliarity can be very disconcerting and requires considerable course preparation (so what’s new!), the immediate effect of having one or more “Eureka” episodes with the student, as an interesting piece of the puzzle actually gets discovered/invented and falls into place, is as exuberating and rewarding for the Instructor as it hopefully is for the student.PROBLEM SELECTION:Using the 80/20 Rule, 80 % of the difficulty in solving an engineering problem is selecting thecorrect

No new material would be covered on these days, and the only plan was to reviewmaterial and answer questions relevant to the four “last chance” quizzes. This gave students thechance to catch up and successfully addressed their “pacing” concerns from the first semester.Specs grading courses (see references) take different positions on the number of re-takes astudent is allowed. Some instructors allow unlimited re-takes, while others allow only one. Inmy first semester I allowed four, with the fourth coming at the student’s convenience or no laterthan the final exam period.

Due tothese high frequencies, these can often manifest in neurological issues like insomnia and mania.The next lowest brain waves range between 8 and 12 hertz and are referred to as Alpha waves.These waves are often associated with the brain’s resting state, often associated withcoordination, calmness, and learning.

Additionally, large classes can inhibit gamebased learning in certain ways. Large classes make games more difficult, as designing an activityfor 5-15 people requires different skills and resources than designing for a class of 60+. It maynot be feasible to even try to implement a game when no one could play reasonably well in aclass time period due to the scale of a large class. Some ways to mitigate this issue involvecreating teams such that the overall number of “players” are reduced and more manageable, butit is still a definite concern that
