This is consistent with what have been reported inliterature [6].In an effort to explain the above finding, the following comments are made. Generally speaking,the students taking these courses registered for one course at a time, and this made them focus ononly one task. That may explain their high performance. It is highly possible that only excellentstudents take such courses for various reasons. First, they are more responsible. Second, theyare more conscious about their education. Thirdly, weaker students may be afraid to engage infast pace intensive classes.Conclusions and

Given this structural modification, products designed and createdwith materials at this scale will perform exceptionally.
