Note that every student would have somewhat different numbers andgraphics. In this instance, a numerical solution is submitted, and the computer would grade theproblem correct or incorrect based on the submitted answer falling within an error bound set bythe problem’s author. For example, the coefficient of uniformity in Figure 1, the value of whichis approximately 7.29, would be graded correct for any entry between 6.93 and 7.65, an errorbound of + 5%.To address the concerns of

Cultural models are internalized cognitive schemas that individuals within a cultureshare to varying degrees and draw upon to form and organize their beliefs, meanings, andpractices.1 Social capital is refers to the social connections of students and the resourcesavailable through those connections. To examine these concepts, it is important to understandtheir meaning as interpreted by individuals who are members of a particular culture.
