A 2020 report from Tenable, a leading ITvulnerability assessment and management solution company, indicates that there were 18,358vulnerabilities reported in 2020, a slight increase from the 17,305 reported in 2019 [4].  Despiteincreased tracking and abatement of software vulnerabilities, Gueye and Mell [5] report that themost prevalent software errors have not changed much since vulnerabilities were first cataloged. Indeed, MITRE [6] lists the top three software vulnerabilities as: 1.

each of the 18 zones and two Watermark Granular Matrix Sensors(GMS) wereembedded within the top three inches of the surface spread across the zone to monitor the soilmoisture status of the zone. Each node also has an internal and external temperature sensor. Ingeneral, each node can be wired to three soil moisture sensors, a rain gauge, and an irrigation on-off switch. Future plans include attaching rain gauge sensors to one or two nodes and irrigationswitches to all of the nodes. Watermark Soil Moisture Sensors are about 3 inches long (Figure 2)and are normally inserted in the ground vertically. The resistance of GMS sensors decreases withwetness. As the soil dries out, the sensor dries out, and resistance to the flow of electricityincreases

insights in how studentconfidence relates to achieving student learning outcomes. In 2017, an internal assessment studywas conducted in the Engineering Mathematics classroom at the United States Military Academy(USMA), specifically to investigate the effects of confidence on performance. The intent of theexperience was to determine if one may identify alternative measures of assessment for studentperformance. Several student categories were identified analogous to the groups described in theSocratic Paradox, i.e. based upon a student’s assessment on whether they know or do not knowthe material. In the following section, background information on the course and the studentenvironment are given. Then, in section 3, a review of the pedagogical

Although still a developing area, a handful of NOEresearch findings demonstrate that instructors and students hold an inadequate understanding ofNOE
