The accuracy of facerecognition degrades quickly when the illumination is dim or when the face is not uniformlyilluminated2. A person’s appearance will typically change dramatically if the intensity of lightreflected from the face is changed1. Add to this a change in the direction the illumination isoriginating from, resulting in shading and shadows being created, the angle of view a camera hason the subjects face, and a person can become unrecognizable to a facial recognition system.1 Hiremath and Prabhakar 2 noted that there are also variances in how light reflects fromhuman faces depending on the color, or skin tone of people from different

The difference is found inpursuing the final step from action-oriented research to developing solutions. The findings aretranslated to action utilizing the new discoveries of knowledge.Systems Thinking ApproachAll of these latter forms of applying more than one research method to a particular problem haveexperienced success in implementation and reflect how the traditional research methods can bebroadened beyond their initial scopes. The common theme is the use of systems thinking to theprocess of research. In systems thinking, cause and effect is seen as a dynamic rather

conclusion will be presentedin Section 5.2. Fundamentals of Solar EnergySolar energy has the theoretical potential to power the entire world. Over the course of a year,the earth receives 17 GW of energy from the sun. Approximately 30% of the solarradiation is reflected back into space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans, and landmasses. So the earth’s surface receives roughly 89 GW of energy. The yearly globalconsumption of energy is 16 GW5. Therefore, capturing all the global solar energy for asmall time period can nearly fulfill this amount. Solar energy can be converted to both heat andelectricity. Solar heating can be used to provide domestic hot water, space heating, cooking, anddrying. Direct solar

Students often worktogether and always had ample opportunity to receive help during office hours. In addition, thenumber of students is small to determine statistically significant differences.The performance on the exams may be a more accurate reflection of students’ learning (seeTable 4). The midterm exam covered content from the inverted part of the 2011 class. Eachyear the exact questions on the midterm change, but are in general very similar (data from earlierversions of the course from 1997 to 2005 is not shown).

More generally, rubrics are usedto judge the quality of constructs (e.g. reports, presentations, etc.) made by students duringperformance tests, which require students to exhibit high-level skills to complete an authentic(i.e. real-world) challenge34. As a result, rubrics are commonly used in the classroom as bothassessment and teaching tools to enhance student learning35.

Asked undergraduates to describe the phenomena and explain what was happening. Graduate mentors then provided ways to think more critically and considerately about the problem. For example, mentors gave students the knowledge to understand the problem and allowed students to think upon and reflect about a problem rather than giving a solution.2.
