designsThe primary materials used in all four designs are black paint, nails, plastic sheet, plywood(varying thickness), 2x4 lumber, mesh screens and aluminum foil. All four designs wereconstructed within the assigned budget of $100. A detailed description the four designs isprovided below.Design 1:The enclosure is formed from 7/16 inch plywood. The waste plywood was used to form therails that hold up the 3 food trays. The trays themselves were framed using 1 in x 2 in furringstrips, and chicken wire was used as the surface to hold the food (Figure 1 a). The sharpedges of the chicken wire were covered with waste plywood to prevent user injury. In thecurrent design, screws and nails were used to fasten parts together. As can be seen in Figure1 b), a

However, their field of expertise is more of governance. As data and devices converge,the role of the CRO and their management responsibilities seem to vary across the landscapewithin the given literature. Nevertheless, the CRO has become a mainstay within the executiveleadership team, and according to Karanja and Rosso [6], the CRO provides a voice within threemanagerial roles: (a) interpersonal, (b) informational, and (c

This pre-test was administered to 692students in 19 sections taught by three different instructors over four years at Wichita StateUniversity.Conclusions – Results show that pre-test scores given at the beginning of the semester correlatereasonably well with the semester grade point where the Pearson correlation coefficient was +0.52.Students who earned a semester grade of an A averaged 87.9% on the pre-test, B students averaged79.7% on the pre-test, C students averaged 71.2% on the pre-test, D students averaged 65.5% andstudents who failed or withdrew averaged 54.9%.BackgroundEducators in general strive to adapt and improve their techniques to best suit the
students (grades) in either sections usingdescriptive analyses employing one variable and two variable relationships. The relationshipsconsidered include: (a) for one variable: comparing the grade distribution across the sectionswith and without mixed-mode, gender, ethnicity, student level, and prior GPA (b) for twovariables: grade performance by gender and mixed-mode, and ethnicity. Further, we build on thedescriptive analyses by developing individual level models of student grade performance whilecontrolling for several covariates simultaneously. The modeling approach controls for severalstudent characteristics and is more likely to offer stable model attribute impacts on gradecompared to descriptive analysis where the analyst has no control

In addition, we performed multigroup analyses using path analyses to compare theassociations among the SCCT variables across Latinx and White students who attended one HSI.Across these studies, we found that (a) SCCT predictors accounted for a significant amount ofthe variance in academic satisfaction and persistence, (b) self-efficacy and social supports wereespecially important in academic satisfaction and persistence, and (c) relations among the SCCTvariables were generally consistent across Latinxs and Whites, suggesting that educationalinterventions would be equally effective for these students [16-21]. However, when we examinedthe data of Latinx students only across three time points, each a year apart, results of a latentgrowth

The tool allows the instructors to choose aweekly prompt or to select from a list of commonly uses prompts; a screenshot of the instructorassignment page is shown in Appendix B. It also allows for quick anonymous feedback of thestudent reflections, as shown on the screenshot in Appendix C. The tool has a set of commonprompts for an instructor to use, but also gives instructors the ability to create their own prompts.Research in ProgressThe reflection tool can be used for instruction since it provides the instructor access to students’perspectives on how they make sense of their role of being an LA and the challenges they face.For example, it provides formative information where

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

The results, as summarized in theAppendix, indicate that this teaching method is effective in helping students understand theconcept of entropy. In our efforts to effectively communicate the concept of entropy we have made somesmall sacrifices in scientific accuracy, and sidestepped more complicated explanations. B. Assumptions about Prior Knowledge of the Students In order to effectively focus on the idea of entropy, this paper makes assumptionsregarding the reader’s prior knowledge. They include a basic understanding of the Zeroth, First,and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, the concept of equilibrium, the meaning of an
