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

Furthermore, the differences between the annealed and cold worked (orhalf-hard) brass demonstrate the effect of cold work on increasing the yield stress and decreasingthe ductility. Students are able to visualize the uniform plastic deformation that occurs in thetensile bar by performing hands-on tests. Figure 1(b) shows the plastic deformation from theinitial metal bar length through necking (thinning of the sample’s mid-section) to fracture forsample tensile bars.

After somebackground on the problem, it is recommended that the biology of the muscle be discussed, witha focus on explaining that tendons carry tensile forces from muscle to bone, with the collagenfibrils contained within tendons accounting for the mechanical resistance to tension.15 Finally,a See example introduction presentation in the supporting information (S1).b If the activity is used for women outreach purposes the project can be shifted to create an implant for female Page 26.1.3athletes.depending on the group of students, the

The fact that the videos wereshort was a distinct advantage. However, these videos were introduced later in the semester as ameans of review; students wished that they had been made available earlier to complement theirfirst experience learning the topic. b.

The revision in 2011 aligned the program withthe current educative model of the UANL11, which is based on: (a) Learning-centered education(b) Competencies-based education, (c) Flexibility, (d) Internationalization and (e) Academicinnovation. This model aims at promoting the transition from a traditional knowledge-orientedapproach to a methodology that seeks the development of skills and competencies, the curriculumflexibility is reinforced, the internationalization processes are taken into account as well as thestudent exchange and mobility. The current version of the program consist of a total of 220credits distributed in 10 semesters. According to both the Educative and Academic Model of theUANL, one credit is equivalent to 30 hours of

self-identify as visual learners, so a graph is more appropriate for theirlearning style.In reality, B-/C+ students do not suddenly earn 100% on all remaining assignments; nor do theytypically stop turning in work for the last two weeks of a course. Instead, they tend to continue atthe same level of performance.In my freshman Materials & Processes class, I staple each student's course grade graph to his orher graded Midterm Exam. The passing grade in this class is 70%. In the following course gradegraphs from Fall 2014, the vertical scale is 70% to 100%, unless the student has course gradesbelow 70% (Students Black and Red). Students can readily see whether they are improving overtime, and whether they are on track to pass the course

It was felt that most of the loadings associated withthe products analyzed by the students could be viewed in terms the following two loadingscenarios:: (a) Design of a light stiff beam in bending (b) Design of a light strong beam in bendingIt was left up to the students to use the loading appropriate to their product.

Students were grouped by course grade “A”, “A-”, “B+”, “B”, “B-”, and “lower”. Oneway ANOVA was performed to determine whether attendance was a significant factor in coursegrade. Course grade was used as the between groups variable and attendance was the dependentvariable. Post-hoc Tukey’s HSD was performed to determine significant pairwise comparisons.The attendance findings are supplemented by data obtained by two different anonymous surveytools distributed to the students. The first tool, typically distributed

Secondly, multiple field trips to commercial facilities (e.g. Figure 1a)provide students with context for laboratory experiments. A third example is writing assignmentsclosely aligned to professional reports, since most practitioners submit fewer, yet morecomprehensive, reports to clients. Four reports are submitted for all laboratory exercisesperformed (soil/soil stabilization, aggregates, concrete, and asphalt) that also include contentrelated to applications and design. a) Asphalt Concrete Facility b) Example Laboratory Space
