While remembering that one study app or methoddoes not fit all needs, students must learn the principles of self-regulated learning and how to studyto foster deep understanding. Although this initial pilot study was done within an in-person course,these problems are only compounded for online courses due to reduced personalized guidance,interaction, and feedback. Intentional thinking involves analyses of one's thinking. Studentsdevelop strategies or ways of thinking about the task at hand and the processes or strategiesnecessary to complete the task.COVID-19’s dramatic shift to remote learning left many students struggling in online learningenvironments

At the atomic and subatomic levels, electrons, photons, and ions act as qubits. In classicalcomputers, bits are processed sequentially, performing tasks one after the other. However, inquantum computing, qubits can be entangled, a phenomenon where the state of two or morequbits becomes correlated. Unlike classical computers that use bits to represent information as0’s and 1’s, quantum computers

The magnetic polarities (N pole or S pole) of the rings arein radial direction and the polarities alternate from one ring to the next on each side of theplunger. Two of the magnet rings are on each end of the plunger and a magnetic loop is formedby the permanent magnet rings, plunger, stator

Wire selection is typically based on the window area of the core as well astolerable amount of copper losses in watts. The web-based magnetic design contains a sub-routine that automatically looks for the wire size (gauge) that most closely fits the calculatedcore material and type. However, since the program is meant to aid in basic calculations ofsimple inductor and transformer designs, the wire selection does not take into account complexconfiguration of winding such as bifiliar or more, interleaving, etc. Figure 5 illustrates the stepwhere wire size is determined including three data related to the selected
