A common feature of these inductive methods is that questions or problems form thecontext for learning.3 Thus, formative assessments based on questions/problems can play afundamentally important role in student learning. The degree to which homework/activity questions impact student learning can beevaluated by considering them relative to Bloom s taxonom . In order of increasing

As can be seen,a higher sampling frequency lowers the resolution of the frequency domain representation of thesignal, but a higher sample size increases the resolution. When applied to musical notes, thislinear distribution of discrete frequencies is important because musical notes do not distributethemselves at equal intervals. Musical notes are typically denoted A, B, C, D, E, F, or G. Thisrepresents one octave of notes and there are several octaves within human hearing range. Theoctave a note is in is generally

Currently, course information is uploaded to thechatbot in a semi-automated manner, implementing a fully automated process can be moreproductive and easier for educators and admin users. To improve our chatbot, a new feature willbe added allowing students to provide their feedback on chatbot responses based on relevancy.This will allow us to measure how much student inquiries were successfully resolved.References[1] D.

Integration of the instruction in design methods orprocesses could also occur in the one or two semester capstone experience [28]. Although manycurriculums have some small design content inserted into their early major’s courses, thecapstone experience may be the first time that students have been exposed to a formal, completedesign process.If the capstone project is the students’ first experience with implementation of the formal designprocess, students are likely to have difficulty understanding the motivation behind the designprocess [17
