They also explain that the outcome space should be parsimonious, looking for the minimum of categories that explain the whole phenomenon (Kindle Loc. 3008). But, now I ask myself, how to assure saturation, or how to know those are all? What happen if one category of the outcome space (for let’s say phenomenon A) is set as the new phenomenon (let’s say phenomenon B) to study? will it be subcategories explaining that particular way of seen the phenomenon A, now called phenomenon B, all the ways experiencing phenomenon B, therefore was the first outcome space all the ways experiencing

Assessment focus shifts according to the review, but it typically examines theadequacy of processes used and quality of products delivered in the corresponding stage of design.Outcomes of the review should be a decision to (a) proceed without changes, (b) make minor refinementsand then advance, or (c) make major revisions and undergo another review before advancing. Throughthese design reviews, students learn to present, assess, and defend their design work before professionals

architecture for the predictive model. The network is a two-layer feedforward network, with asigmoid transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer. This network also uses tappeddelay lines to store previous values of y(t) sequences. W is the weight matrix, and b is the bias.The above neural network is trained in open loop form. Open loop (single-step) is more efficientthan closed loop (multi-step) training. Open loop allows us to supply the network with correctpast outputs as we train it to produce the correct current outputs. When the feedback loop isopen, it is performing a one-step-ahead prediction. It is predicting the next value of y(t) fromprevious values of y(t). With the feedback loop closed, it can

This required us topurchase kits of Makeblock parts for 70 teams, which was a significant up-front investment(~$300/team), but one that we feel is well justified.3.
