Plotting the data in these (semi-)logarithmic forms is a useful activity forstudents. It allows them to glean useful information regarding the functional dependenceof the current on the voltage. If the current depends exponentially on the voltage, I = Ae BV with A and B constants, then a semi-log plot should yield a straight line withslope B. If the current has a power-law dependence on the voltage, I = CV n with C andn constants, then a log-log plot yields a straight

The recordings of the think-aloud activity were transcribed verbatim and the transcriptswere treated as the data for the analysis process. The analysis involved three steps: 1) a referringphrase analysis, 2) a script analysis, and 3) an assertion analysis. The first stage, or referringanalysis stage, was used to identify noun, or noun phrases, associated with decision points in thethink-aloud process. The script analysis portion of the analysis involved categorizing thedescriptions of participants‟ actions at associated
