course and at least knew Lagrangian equations.All students in these two groups had little or no background in applied multibody dynamics andno experience with virtual prototyping software.Based on the technical background of the students, the approach of combining theory with theuse of software was utilized to deliver the AMD course. Such an approach has several benefits.One obvious benefit is that students are usually attracted by the use of simulation tools. After theinstructional approach was determined, other teaching materials were chosen as follows:(1) Textbook and reference books a) Thomas R. Kane/David A.

Such distinctions are then useful, forexample, for deciding among two equally credentialed candidates for a job or a position in agraduate program.Like any good currency, standardization is important. If one person is to decide something abouta student based upon a grade another gave, that person would need to understand what that grademeans. Hence, over time, grades have standardized to fixed scales like A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, etc.While standard grade systems have been around for several hundred years, academia is stillunable to consistently and meaningfully interpret what a grade represents about what a studenthas learned in a course [1

In this semester, twoinstructors (B & C) adopted the new method and one instructor (A) maintained a traditionalapproach to act as a control. A common final exam was used, but course grades weredetermined independently by each individual section instructor based on their establishedassessment methods. A similar format was used in the fall of 2017. In the fall of 2018, thecontrol instructor (A) adopted the SMART assessment method (Table 1). Concurrent with theintroduction of the SMART format, four sections of ME222 were offered using the traditionalassessment system without a comparative, common final exam to the SMART sections. A

mentions of unfamiliar vocabulary words and confusing wording unrelated tovocabulary were coded but did not lead to any modifications on the test. Most words that wereidentified as unfamiliar (angular acceleration, linear acceleration, position vector) are consideredto be standard physics vocabulary and therefore did not need to be clarified.One of the distractors in question 28, choice B, was identified by three students as implausible, a“throwaway answer.” The question and its answer choices are shown in Fig. 3. For one studentthe similarity of answers B and C became a substantial distraction. “I feel like B and C are the same and you can only pick one answer. I think it’s a trap.

Although content inevitably followed the textbook, problem solvingtechniques, nomenclatures and mathematical techniques were the instructor’s choice. We define the DOT PRODUCT as AB = A*B*cos(φ) with the RHS being a SCALAR – hence the optional name for this operation being “SCALAR PRODUCT”. A = Ax i + Bx j + Bz k : B = Bx i + By j + Bz k so AB = (Ax i + Bx j + Bz k ) ● (Bx i + By j + Bz k) with i●i = 1 etc., and i●j = 0 etc., then AB = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz = AB cos(φ) therefore φ = cos -1 (AB/AB) = cos -1 ((AxBx + AyBy + AzBz)/(AB)) this is useful for finding an angle between

Given previous studies showing thatstudents are more likely to prefer watching videos to live lectures if the videos are shorter[7], thetarget video segment length was 10-15 minutes. Appendix B summarizes the subtopics andvideo lengths for the course. This resulted in a typical assignment of 4-5 video segments perweek.   Figure 1 - Samples of Gapped Handouts (with Narrator Annotations) Videos were posted on

fromexperiences pushing an object off-center and causing it to rotate. In part (a) of the problem, bothp-prims lead to the same result: motion and rotation to the left. In part (b), students are told thatthe spool rolls without slipping. Since moving upward is not an option, students fall back on the“Force as a spinner” idea and state that the spool rolls to the left. In part (c), though, the two p-prims contradict. “Force as a Mover” asserts that the spool should move to the right whereas“Force as a spinner” dictates that the spool move to the left. According to diSessa, most noviceschoose the spinner p-prim and therefore would predict that the spool rolls to the left.Engineering students who knows Newtonian mechanics, however, should be able to put
