Bloom’s apply or analysis levels (2 and 3), androughly correspond with a “B” in the course. Level 3 (black squares) are the most complicatedtasks corresponding to Bloom’s levels 4-6 and an “A” level of understanding for the course.This scheme is clearly explained to students when they are given the review sheets, emphasizingthat understanding a topic is not black and white, but incremental, and that it is difficult to tackle Page 26.132.10higher-level objectives without first understanding the basics. • Define heterogeneous nucleation. • Define contact angle (aka, wetting angle). o Calculate the wetting angle based on relative
of the rod). There are perhaps twopossible ways of explaining this answer. First, the knowledge that brittle materials fail in tensionleads to a failure plane perpendicular to the load direction since the load is parallel to the lengthof the rod. Another possible thought may come from an assumption that the rod will fail due toshear stress, leading to the choice of the perpendicular plane as the failure plane, since this is theshear plane. The correct answer is (b), where the rod does not experience necking and thetension plane is at an angle of 45o with respect to the length of the rod. Page 22.645.6 1. A cylindrical rod made of

The analytecan be thus “pumped” toward regions with pre-deposited reagents, providing a chemical sensingplatform that can be customized for the analyte. The analyte can be qualitatively or quantitativelycharacterized through color of the reaction product or other means, such as sensing current froman electrochemical reaction (Li, Ballerini & Shen, 2012).

They are designed to give instructorsauthentic, rich insights and information on student learning issues they can effectively use tosynthesize external formative feedback. Such feedback can then be used by students to assessand monitor progress and overcome learning issues. The feedback also offers importantopportunities for instructors to reflect on their own beliefs and practice and catalyze change tostudents' learning opportunities and their classroom experience.Instructor B: I have used two different methods now to automate collection of muddy points.Three years ago I began using the

alloys and a number of high performance carbon reinforced composites. Farag (2002)has listed some of the general (not specific to connecting rod) material performance requirementsand has related possible modes of failure with the material properties. He states that thecatastrophic fracture due to impact loading is resisted by the high fracture toughness, which is arigid material requirement and should be used for initial screening of materials. He also statesthat the local and the global buckling are resisted by high elastic modulus, and is a soft materialrequirement.Ashby, Shercliff and Cebon (2008) have looked at the shaping of a steel connecting rod and havearrived at the short list of processes as (a) die casting, (b) forging and machining
