When using themodule independently, communication connections must be made carefully and should followthe schematic in Figure 7. Pin 1 (SOUT) is the serial output from the module and connects to PCserial port RX pin (DB9 pin 2 / DB25 pin 3) for programming.

Table 7 shows the breakdown of letter gradesreceived for each exam question. The equivalent class GPA is shown for each question, based on a 4.0scale.Direct assessment provides the most accurate measure of a student’s knowledge in a given course. In thiscourse, about 50% of students were able to have a grade of “A”. The other 50% are subdivided between“B” and “C”.
