Traditional grading methods, often influenced by implicit biases, cannegatively affect student outcomes and increase anxiety, thus undermining fairness. This paperaims to decouple student identity from their work by implementing an anonymous gradingsystem using barcodes, potentially

closer starts moving and continues until the door is completely closed. Thehydraulic door closer has rotating parts that can provide a potential mechanical energy source.This energy source is converted appropriately to electrical energy to provide power to a low-power wireless sensor.In the first phase of the project, an appropriate gear set is designed to increase the speed of therotation so that it is able to provide enough rotation speed for the generator. Then a power circuithas been designed to implement and manage energy conversion. This circuit will regulate thevoltage for a wireless sensor node. Before implementation of the experiment, necessarycomputer simulations were conducted. If the sensor node functions appropriately with the

Companies candeploy them based on their needs or requirements and they can do very simple to complex tasks.Especially, in the finance industry, Robots are helping to perform simple tasks of bookingjournal entries to reconciling bank accounts
final exam scores forthe two cohorts, using prerequisite GPA as a control variable (Norusis, 2005). This GPA wasbased on the grades obtained in the prerequisite coursework (i.e., calculus 2, calculus 3, ordinarydifferential equations, statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics), which were gathered via ademographics survey. The demographics survey was also used to gather gender, ethnicity, PellGrant status, and transfer information (i.e., transfer into the engineering program) to enablestratified analyses.Given the small sample sizes associated with some of the demographic strata, the nonparametricversion of ANCOVA - Quade’s test - was also run (Quade, 1967; Lawson, 1983).
