Both A and B were correct answers and option D included both of these, however theitem totals demonstrated the students did not recognize this, as 54% choose either distractor A orB, only 35% selected the correct answer D, and 5% selected C and E respectively. The originaland revised distractors and correct answers are included below

Thus, it is important for design engineers to understand how to manipulatecurves and surfaces.Assignment: Many computer graphics systems use Bézier curves as the basis for generatingshapes for various fonts. Simple, cubic Bezier curves are mathematically similar to B-splines inmany respects, such as the use of blending functions, control points, and continuity conditions.This project challenges the students to design a scalable, translatable D’Nealian cursive fontbased on cubic and higher order Bézier curves.
