out the steps of what you have to do. I really enjoy when teachers in class will be like, ’Oh, well for external flow problems you have to do A, B, C, D, E’, and that really helps me because my brain has to be organized. I have to know exactly what to do next.”This indicates that Chelsea wanted an exact procedure to follow for each type of problem. Shealso stated that the goal of studying was to practice enough problems before the test so that shewould have seen all variations of the problems. “Well, I think the goal is to have done so many problems so that when I get on a test and I've ran into something like that, I am able to work through it. The goal is to work through as many problems so that you come

To a fellow engineering professor thismay seem overly prescriptive for an open-ended student-guided activity, but from the students’perspectives it is still far from clear.
