A month after his arrival at NASA, the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, was launched. Obviously, that was exciting, but in terms of his career, the commencement of the Space Shuttle Program in November 1972 was to have far more impact. As a result, David was able to begin his career working on what he says was the most interesting and

Each of these sectionswere taught in different ways: (a) traditional lecture format, (b) flipped style classroom, and (c)mixed version, which utilized videos created for the flipped classroom as supplemental materialbut delivered course content primarily through lecture style. Student-level data were collected forall three of the Statics sections of interest in this study. Data were analyzed to determine ifstudents enrolled in flipped or mixed sections experienced improved achievement outcomesgreater than their traditional-lecture peers. Initial data showed that the mixed course design hadthe greatest impact on student achievement as measured by grade distribution, DEW rates, andstudent performance on class assignments, quizzes, and

others on campus, theuniversity implemented an academic calendar that split the Fall 2020 semester into two blocks (abouteight weeks in length), with courses finished in these units of time. The intention of the blockscheduling was to, (a) reduce the level of traffic on campus as only half of the courses were offered ineach block; and (b) if one a block was able to finish with face-to-face instruction without beinginterrupted by a return to fully online instruction, the quality of that part of schoolwork would beprotected. While this consideration was well-intended, it required teaching plans to be completelyreworked, with the worry that instruction would be rushed without allowing students sufficient time todigest and absorb the content.Even
