HyFlex learning models have gained popularity as aresult of the pandemic. Studies and surveys show the potential for blended learning models, likeHyFlex, to improve higher education post-pandemic and for years to come. Simultaneously,researchers have consistently found that self-regulation impacts students’ academic achievementin traditional classroom settings. Since online learning environments increases student autonomy,arguably, self-regulation learning skills are even more

Historically, introductory courses in electricalengineering and electrical engineering technology not always have been adequate to satisfy thegoals of providing a foundation for EET majors, while providing some EET knowledge and toolsneeded for other majors to support their field of study3. We continue to struggle with the task ofimparting knowledge to students who often have little interest in the material, and who are veryimpatient. We also are often faced with the decision of covering only the most basic informationon most topics in the syllabus or focusing on communicating a comprehensive understanding ofa subset of topics.

Although the questionnaires often containeduseful information, they were also rife with contradictory, confusing, and illegible feedback.Now that our university has an online option for SRIs, the legibility problem has been mitigated,but the confusion and contradictions remain endemic to the process. In general, the engineeringfaculty attitude we most encounter regarding the mandated SRI is that they are unfortunate,unfair, and flawed summative judgements of their teaching and courses.
