This finding, however,does not encapsulate the extreme levels of variation witnessed across demographic groups in thevarious prompts within this study, as noted in Appendix B and C. The variation suggests thatambiguous terminology elicits extremely different interpretations in both collegiate andprofessional settings; however, interpretation cannot be predicted based on demographics.As a result, educators must take measures to teach students about ambiguous terminology andhow teammates can perceive both time and probability based vague language completelydifferent from one another

Specifications grading, an evolution of contract grading [1], is a novel grading approachintroduced by Nilson [2] designed to help motivate students to focus on learning rather thanfeeling the need to obsessively count points. In a specifications grading approach, facultyprovide clear specifications of what is required to earn a given grade in the class. Rather thanbasing grades on point totals or a weighting system, students are given the option to completespecific assignments or bundles of assignments that link to a specified grade. Each assignment isgraded on a pass/fail basis where passing is typically defined as B or B+ level work

in Appendix B. As statedpreviously, a rotating facilitator model is expected to be helpful for institutions with large enrollments. Itis important to note that the current semester enrollment in the course (including BME major, BMEminor, and non-minor students) is approximately 100. However, with the anticipated growth of the newBME major program, the enrollment is anticipated to increase to approximately 300 students peracademic year. By examining our preliminary smaller cohorts, we will consider this model to besuccessful if both students and facilitators perceive the rotating facilitators as beneficial towards studentskill development and an overall positive experience and manageable demands on facilitators.References:1.

While magnifying the displacements makesthe models less “real”, it helps students to understand how deformation occurs in the object,similar to the method of using physical foam models. A sample view of an AR model from thecourse being viewed on a computer and in AR is shown in Figure 1a and b, respectively. Therewere minimal technical challenges when using the Sketchfab application in class. One suchchallenge was that students with older cell phones, approximately 5 students out of over 100,were unable to use the AR feature (Figure 1b).

It is obvious that the harmonicvibration amplitude remains unchanged with time, which is one characteristic of undamped freevibration. Damping is introduced to the system for investigating the damping effect on vibrationresponses. Figure 1(b) shows the underdamped response in which the damping ratio is less than1. The vibration amplitude, instead of remaining as a constant, decreases exponentially with − ttime because of the factor e n in its
