During theoral test, students were given problems of similar difficulty level as the examplesdiscussed in class. Students were given 8 minutes to work out the steps to solve theproblem without calculating any number. Students’ performance was graded to receiveup to 5% extra credits towards their overall grades. Scores in the midterm and finalexams, as well as overall course grades were collected to compare between students whotook oral exams (Group A) and those who did not (Group B), while student perceptionsof the course were also examined using surveys. 40 out of 76 students (52.6%)participated in this oral exam.

When coupled with a lack of familiarity with theculture of higher education and rising tuition costs, the result is a much higher attrition rate forthese students. Ohland et al.

If a is the value of a certain scalar (such as your pen’s mass) in S, and a is the valueof the same scalar in S , then a = a.
