timing plan will bethe basis for Scenario IV-(b).Scenario IV-(b) will strive to have longer, more realistic intervals to increase the intersection’sperformance. MOE’s for this scenario will once again be tabulated. It is anticipated that in thiscase the intersection will be operating rather optimally. To create another scenario there will bea shift in volumes, e.g. twice the volume E-W than N-S, while maintaining the same signaltiming plan - this will be Scenario IV-(c).At the end of all the scenarios, the MOEs from each will be compared to provide both aqualitative and quantitative measure of how different means of controlling an intersectionperform. The instructors will emphasize the use of a traffic signal, and provide the take-homemessage

Despite its promise, the impact of active learning can be limited due to the lack ofsocial learning resources, such as

(a) If students predict right end will go down, instructor creates this situation. (b) If students predict right end will go up, instructor creates this situation.The instructor then introduces the concept of metacognition. Since their prediction didnot work out well, they should reflect on why they thought it was a good prediction.There was something they assumed or had previously experienced that suggested theirprediction; what was it? Why was their assumption poor, or why did their previousexperience not serve well in this

analyze the J-hook(recounted above) had difficulty in even beginning the problem. To exclude a force, even onethat appears to be irrelevant, is to surrender an important opportunity for the instructor tocultivate the complete understanding of the problem at hand.Next, we found that nearly all textbooks frequently exclude units, especially in intermediatecalculations, although usually they are attached to the final answer (see Appendix B, Figure B3).Repetitious inclusion of the units, accompanied by emphatic comments, provides a valuableopportunity for the educator to lead the students to realize that units reveal insights and specialproperties of the underlying mechanics. Students who develop the habit to consider and includeunits will be more
