Initially, students did notunderstand how writing essays fits in with the course – software engineering.

NCL threshold gates may also include a reset input to initialize the output.Circuit diagrams designate resettable gates by either a d or an n appearing inside the gate, alongwith the gate’s threshold. d denotes the gate as being reset to logic 1; n, to logic 0.

implemented a techniquethat monitors the computer programming process rather than merely the final product. Thisallows instructors to determine what the students intended to do, especially their initial attempts.Grading the entire process forces students to take each phase seriously. This includes theplanning and design phases, steps often skipped by students.Many instructors have explored the use of self-evaluation in assessing the students. Greene andJalkio5 discuss asking students to create portfolios where they assess their progress toward thecourse objectives. In 82% of the cases, the student assessment was within a half-letter grade ofthe instructor's assessment. Ellis and Mitchell3 use self-grading for a software engineeringcourse. A related

David remembers a retrospective session that pointed out a flaw in the initial course design; while he no longer recalls the specific flaw, he does remember the inner conflict this provoked in him.7.

What is the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the option? (Use the binomial option pricing model described in class in arriving at your answer.) Answer: $3.65 S = $57.00, K = $58.50, u = 1.1, d = 0.9, rf = 4%, T = 2. Therefore, q = (1.04 - 0.90)/(1.1 - 0.9) = 0.7.4.
