An overview of this method can be found in Baughn5. The steady-state method requiresthe application of a constant surface heat flux to the object, usually applied through a foil heateror more recently through radiant heating. Knowing q” (the surface heat flux), the heat transfercoefficient can be found using h = q "/ (Tsurface - T¥ ). This method has been applied in a variety ofapplications including turbine blades6, impinging jets7, pin fins8, and channel flow

showedan increase in student engagement. However, it was inconclusive whether the homeworkcompletion grade was affected by the pedagogy. The results also showed that the homework hada weak positive correlation with exam performance.The present paper further aims to assess the efficacy of the pedagogy by examining studentengagement and student performance across multiple cohorts of the course. Learningmanagement system tools, like chat and polling, were previously shown to be effectivequalitative methods for overcoming the passive learning behavior exhibited by EFL students.Thus, a comparison by cohort and in aggregate were performed for the following: studentparticipation at each synchronous Q&A session using the chat feature, student polling

It is an extension of Q-learning that uses deep neural networks toapproximate the Q-value function. This works with discrete observation space and discrete actionspace. The key equation for DQN involves updating the weights of the neural network to minimizethe loss function, which is typically the mean squared error between the predicted Q-values and thetarget Q-values. The function for DQN can be expressed as [20] 𝑄(𝑠𝑡 , 𝑎𝑡

The shear deformation and rotary inertia effects are also ignored.For an angular displacement q and an elastic deflection u , the total (net) displacement y( x, t ) of a point along the manipulator at a distance x from the hub can be described as afunction of both the rigid body motion q(t ) and elastic deflection u( x, t ) measured from theline OX ; y ( x , t ) = x q ( t ) + u( x , t ) (1)To obtain equations of motion of the manipulator, the associated energies have to be obtained.These include the

advantage of the geometric approach:replacing the onerous task of checking that a tensor’s components obey the proper transformationrule with the (usually) easier task of identifying a linear tensor relationship.As already mentioned, tensors of rank greater than two can also be regarded as linear operators.When a tensor of rank three operates on a vector, the result is a tensor of rank two. When a tensorof rank four operates on a tensor of rank two, the result is a tensor of rank two. When a tensor ofrank 4,086 operates on a tensor of rank 1,237, the result is a tensor of rank 2,849.

When looking at the overall numerical grades of the class (GPAs forthe course offering averaged for all students in the class), the summers again showed markedlyhigher average GPAs (Fig. 4). Finally, Table 2 shows the number of students that Q-droppedfrom the course as well as those who made a lower grade (Ds and Fs; both are actuallyconsidered failing grades within the department) – the data corresponds to the plot given in Fig.3 where summer offerings saw no q-drops or lower/failing grades.

A seasoned instructor would be able to look at one ofthese more complicated derivations, and immediately see that the student is incorrectly applyingModus Tollens, and provide a more fundamental example to reinforce the concept. The ability to perform meta-reasoning is unavoidable within the framework of acomputer instructor for any subject, but all the more vital for subject areas such as logic.
