The pre-test consisted of ten questions which were a combination of multiple choices andfill-in-the-blank questions. It assessed both basic concept knowledge and calculation ability.The pre-test was administrated one week before the lecture. Two post-tests were conducted toassess the effect Adobe Connect had on students in the short term and long term. As a short termassessment, the first post-test was completed right after the class. At the end of each lecture, aninstructor used the last ten minutes for students to answer the first post-test. As a long termassessment, the second post-test was done in WebCT Vista three days later.

Students learn Paretoanalysis, scatter plots, cause and effect diagrams, root cause analysis, and other methods. Theyalso learn one of the core values of lean that problems should be made evident so that they canbe seen and then addressed.We can also apply these problem-solving principles to the classroom itself. The first way is toimplement measures that allow students to quickly identify when problems are occurring in theirown learning. This is done through frequent assessments of student learning. For example, shortquizzes can be given weekly. Furthermore, during lectures, students should be

Within the open-loop control low-pass filter band-stop filter and Gaussian shaped torque,inputs are considered. Initially, to identify the characteristic parameters of the system, theflexible manipulator is excited with a single-switch bang-bang torque input and its vibrationbehavior is monitored 24. Then the filters are used for pre-processing the input so that no energyis fed into the system at the natural frequencies. Performances of the techniques are assessed interms of level of

at a higher education institution, this certainly holds true as teachers interact with students via learning activities such as courses, tutorials, assessment, and other feedback mechanisms. Beyond the teacher/student interaction, students communicate with other students or academic staff on various occasions and in a number of different ways. b) Non-Linear Interaction The interaction of elements of complex systems is generally non-linear. This means that small influences can have large effects in the system and conversely, that large influences can have small effects.
