The bridge must include a decking of spaghetti to provide a suitable “road surface” at least 5 cm wide across the full span of the bridge. Three conditions must be met: a) gaps in the bridge deck are not to exceed 2 mm. b) a block of wood (5 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm), representing a car, must be able to move the entire length of the span unobstructed. c) the deck of the bridge must not be more than 5 cm above or below the ends of the bridge at any point along its length.5

few years thenumber of faculty using the method has grown and some will find it a wonderful means toincrease student learning by modifying the feedback loop. 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
