average. It appears to be a growing trend that universities avoiddefining grades where a student is above average or below average, or compared to theperformance of other students in the class. Some describe grades such that all students in a class Page 26.856.3are “excellent” and have “superior achievement”. Some institutions only state that the student’sperformance in academic work is expressed by the following grades with the traditional list ofA=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0 and F =0 for computation of a grade point average.

The ABCD process was adapted from a pneumonic that was used at Harvard University Libraries. The “A” represents Authority---who provided the information and what is the affiliation of the person. “B” represents bias. Is it obvious that the creator has a specific point of view or is there an effort to represent the entire picture? Bias is not necessarily bad, but must be recognized and used properly in the project. “C” stands for how current the item is. If recent information is required on a topic, something from 1975 probably will not be adequate. Students were

, mechanical, aerospace, andchemical engineering involve the study of interconnected dynamic systems modeled bydifferential or difference equations, such as feedback control systems. The traditional frameworkfor the analysis and design of such systems is based on the transfer function, which modelssingle-input single-output (SISO) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. It can be defined by takingthe Laplace transform of a differential equation (in continuous time) or the z-transform of adifference equation (in discrete time).In the continuous LTI case, the differential equation may be written the form ua(D) = yb(D),where u ∈ C∞ is the input signal, y ∈ C∞ is the output signal, a, b ∈ R[x] are real polynomials withb = 0, and D is the differential
