Navigate tothe Output code category, then drag out a “print to serial monitor” block and place it just beforethe serial block that is already in the program. A student can change the default text to label theSerial data, such as “Sensor Value: ”, and from the dropdown menu either choose to print with orwithout a new line. Please note, in case of Fig. 4, the default block code has been used, where anumber is printed on the serial monitor. In contrast, after the code block configuration as shownon 5 (b), the serial monitor output looks similar to Fig. 6. A student can stack similar serial

Gradeshigher than a B can be achieved through the completion of extra labors that expand the learning goals ofthe student or support the learning goals of others in our community. Grades lower than B are awarded tostudents that struggle to meet all the completion criteria for assigned labors, but are still able to completethem with additional help or time.Labor-based grading replaces point based grading with a completion metric.

Butterworth bandpass filter, optimizing the signal by detrending and filteringacross predetermined time windows. The signal is processed through six 10-second, non-overlapping windows usinga sixth-order Butterworth bandpass filter with a frequency range of 0.65 to 4 Hz, streamlining the signal preparationwithout additional optimization steps [50]. Among RGB color channels—Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B), the green channel plays a pivotal role dueto its close similarity to the PPG signal. This is because hemoglobin that carries oxygen-transporting protein inthe blood reaches its maximum level of absorption in green light [18]. As the light intensity fluctuations affect allchannels equally, the ratio of the green-to-red (GR) and green-to-blue (GB

Someclasses also used a “+” or “–” system. A “+” adds 0.33 to the base grade, while a “-” subtracts0.33. For example, a “B+” would quantitatively be a 3.33 (3.00 + 0.33), while a “B-” would be a2.77 (3.00 - 0.33).Data was gathered on students’ expected majors. Out of a total of 600 students, 311 (51.8%) weremechanical and/or aerospace engineering students, 114 (19.0%) were civil and/or environmentalengineering students, 102 (17.0%) were biomedical engineering students and 73 (12.2%) studentshad other majors.
