For a total of 40 questions in 10 categories, average scores andstandard deviations were calculated for individual questions and also for each category. The resultsare summarized in Table 1 where the survey categories are labeled by Roman numerals andindividual questions are sequentially labeled with a prefix Q. The average and standard deviationfor “Overall” are for the category. For a comparison between the results from the twoquestionnaires, the averages and standard deviations were presented in two sets of columns,denoted by “Perception” (questionnaire 1) and “Achievement” (questionnaire 2).

policy, which is a mapping from states to actions thatmaximizes the expected future reward.We deploy Q-Learning [24], a common reinforcement learning algorithm where the agent keepsstate-action values Q(s,a) and uses these values to choose the best action to take in each state.The Q(s,a) values are updated through a trial-and-error process and the action with the highestQ(s,a) value is considered the best action to take. Often the state space is large and explicitlystoring Q(s,a) values in tabular form is not feasible. Therefore, approximation methods, rangingfrom linear combinations to deep convolutional neural networks have been used to approximateQ(s,a). Since we aim for effective adaptation, we deploy Q-Learning with linear approximationon

timemeasurements are not difficult to make with simple instruments. The equipment is inexpensiveand portable for both classroom and laboratory use. The experiments range from simple momentof inertia concepts to the testing of more complex friction models and may be easily modified tovary the results. The disk is an appropriate system for sophomore level students to analyze, sincethe solution of its angular momentum differential equation results in a simple angulardisplacement versus time relationship, q(t), even though the frictional model is non-linear,varying with the angular velocity w raised to some unknown power. This permits superior resultssince the q vs. t data set can be accurately determined over the range of angular velocities usingan ordinary

The four Q-outputs each produce a 50%duty cycle waveform, at a frequency one-fourth of the internal carrier clock (7200 Hz, in thiscase). In addition, the Q-outputs provide four waveforms, with the required 90-, 180-, and 270-degree phase shifts. These four Q-outputs are then used as inputs to a 4-to-1 multiplexer.

Other distribution types will introduce strong nonlinearity in the plots. 3) Draw the quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot to show whether the two grade samples come from the same unknown distribution. If the two samples do come from the same unknown distribution, the plot will be linear. 4) Use the Shapiro-Wilk test to see if the two grade samples are both from the normal distribution family. If both samples are from the normal distribution family, the F-test and the t-test are further used to see if the
