Maintain and enhance soil quality, 2. Improve the precision and efficiency of inputs, including nutrients and crop and lawn protection products, and 3. Reduce the urban and agricultural delivery of sediment, nutrients, and pathogens due to erosion, runoff, and drainage. Still, the specific strategies that are most effective at achieving these goals will depend upon the site-specific soil, landscape, and hydrologic characteristics of each farm and watershed.

In general, this strategy appearsto be effective and can be applied to any course to help address issues with prerequisiteknowledge. This study is limited due to the relatively low sample size (total of 81 students), lackof a comparison group to compare traditional methods of teaching prerequisite material, andpotential confounding factors that might have influenced results. However, the largeimprovements in performance and short-time frame that this was implemented in may help limitsome of these impacts.IntroductionMost engineering courses build upon material that students are expected to have learned inprevious courses [1
