gradingincentive that works well with students. Therefore, our proposed course structure used aneffective combination of group learning and specially prepared detailed course notes. After thefirst (background check) quiz the following e-mail (boxed below) was sent to the class givingstudents another opportunity to relearn the topics. The quiz 1 mentioned below was multiple-choice type. Many students would guess answers on such questions. But the condition forregrading such quizzes was they must learn the correct reason/s for each of the missed questionby reading notes, or by discussions with groupmates or others. This worked very well. In fact,our data shows a consistent interest among students. Further tracking some of the students fromFluids II to the

Finally, this paper concludes in matching EC2000’s educational outcomes (a-k)to the educational objectives of the course, maps the assessment tools of the course to Bloom’staxonomy of learning, and comments on the usefulness of an outcomes-based assessment survey.I
