In an attempt to guarantee a collaborative learning environment, the instructor used lab assignments (experiments and projects) which required working in dyads and groups of four, ensuring that Page 24.615.5 students engaged in some form of student-centered, active learning within the flipped classroom.Evidence of the use of this approach was

Section A was taught withthe partially-flipped design while sections B and C were taught in the traditional lecture format.Students met Mondays and Wednesdays for 50 minutes in section A and for 50 minutesMondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for sections B and C. Students received a daily schedule onthe first day so they knew when each assignment was due.Section A students were required to watch a video lecture before each class meeting. A short on-line quiz (through Blackboard) after each video lesson tested student understanding of theconcepts covered in the lesson. During this pilot, the two videos were made available

Absent other design criteria, this assumption willnormally allow for close to optimal output amplitude. Therefore:VRD = VDD - 0.5 * VDD = 0.5 * VDDso b) RD = 0.5 * VDD / IDqThe transconductance of a MOSFET can be found by taking the derivative of the transferfunction for
