Students are required to complete a certain percentage of coursecontent in each class, but the learning path can be different. In other words, each student can learndifferent topics in the same classroom by walking through the corresponding course materials,such as videos and sample code wrapped in Jupyter-notebooks, a computer science languageexecution software. If a student has any questions, he/she should ask the general instructor first.The chatbot can answer basic questions, such as the robotics concept and syllabus-relatedquestions. If the

Since grades with “+” or “-”, such as “B+”, could be assigned, a plus was added tothe base grade if a student earned “Pass” scores on at least 13 guided practice and on 7 pre-labassignments in the 2018 course. A minus was added to the base grade if a student earned “Pass”scores on fewer than 7 guided practice or on fewer than 4 pre-lab assignments in the 2018course.

students also missed the accountability that synchronous labs require of them. Themain critique of the synchronous labs was that it was difficult to operate the software and followalong with the TA’s instructions of the Zoom call at the same time. If a student only has onecomputer monitor, it makes the task more challenging. The format of the lab also caused delaysif one or more students got behind, leading to some inefficiencies.

Some professional skills thatare acquired through these ABET accredited courses are: the abilities to design a technology-based product orservice, to address a real-world problem, and to communicate effectively. The forced transition to online educationdue to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the fact that higher education students need more self-regulatedlearning (SRL) skills to engage in effective time management, prioritize their tasks, watch lectures, and completeassignments.

More importantly, it provides them the opportunity to fail, and learn from their failures.A major problem with the traditional class structure of today is that it relies heavily on thepass/fail aspect of the course, putting pressure on undergraduate students. Most students have not been previously exposed to the material before coming into aclass, yet their final grade suffers if they make a mistake on assignments or tests. Whether theylearned from their mistake or not is irrelevant because their grades have suffered irreversibly.With IBL's structure, students can make mistakes as they learn while still being able to
