it.Learning is done incrementally, in layers. Mastery of knowledge and skill in a certain area orsubject often starts from the basics, a minimum set of facts that constitute the foundation forunderstanding of more complex and advanced concepts and their later application. The scope ofthe course and the coverage of the lectures are normally specified in program description andcourse syllabus before the course is offered. Due to time limitations in classrooms, classroomteaching tends to focus introducing basic concepts so that students will have the tools to usewhen learning more complex concepts and applications later. Most of this complex or advancedlearning is delegated to students outside of the class, in the form of home works and projects.Basics

Retraining classes occur shortly after a mid-term exam; these sessions act as a forcing function for students to review any mistakes made,with the teacher available as a guide to clear any confusion on the topics covered by the exam.The goal of these retraining exercises was to rapidly mitigate the risk of knowledge gaps that cancompound as course content becomes increasingly rigorous. Prior to assessing the retrainingeffects on students’ performance, the authors needed to determine whether the final exam in thecourse could be used as a metric to compare the performance of different

Preparation in TIED UPIn TIED UP, the course material preparation begins with the identification of the concepts involved in thecourse. Firstly, the course syllabus is revisited to identify the basic concepts involved in the course. Thefirst module (Kinematics) has been divided into 36 discrete concepts, as shown in Figure 1. For the designof the delivery materials, each concept is treated separately. Similarly, the second module is divided into39 basic concepts.Once the concept list is ready, the next step is to analyze the resources associated with each concept. Thetextbook contents and the previous lecture material are analyzed carefully to identify the pre-requisiteknowledge necessary to understand that concept. This procedure is according to the

In our example, the chemistry professordelivers the chemistry instruction and designs the lab work. The writing instructor then developswriting assignments that build on the chemistry instruction. Lab reports and the like are gradedby both professors for technical content and written expression. The disadvantage of this modelis that it requires an enormous amount of co-operation between the instructors. They mustprepare all course work, right down to the syllabus, as a team.

A complicatingfactor is that during the semester plagiarism screening software was used, students wereinformed in the syllabus and on the first day of class that their papers were being screened forplagiarism prior to submission. This information likely provided additional encouragement forstudents to avoid malicious plagiarism in fear of penalty, which may in itself be a benefit of theuse of plagiarism screening software.
