typical type of engineering quiz consists of a series of problems for the student to solve. Forexample, consider a traditional quiz problem in an introductory signals and systems course: • [10 points] Compute the convolution between {u(t) – u(t–4)} and u(t–3).The student is required to recall the formula for convolution and to work through the details ofthe problem. This type of problem is often presented in a timed situation with little opportunityfor the student to reflect on his or her knowledge base.In this study, the standard quiz was modified by including a preliminary exercise (Part A) inwhich the student demonstrated his or her knowledge about the concept by writing as much asthey knew about the given topic. After this part was

are not the focus of thispaper, their implications for the delivery of instruction necessitate changes to the traditionalstructure and delivery of a flipped class. The implementation of COVID protocols around socialdistancing and sharing of objects alone introduce difficulties to the active learning methods thatcharacterize a flipped class. While working on problem solving or completing in-class exercises,social distancing limits the ability of the instructor to provide one-on-one guidance and critique.Social distancing can also limit student group work and collaboration, which reduces the benefitsgarnered from peer-to-peer teaching. Eliminating the sharing of objects to reduce surface tosurface transmission has the effect of disrupting hands

Due to poor student preparation seenvia either insufficient or incorrect notes, in-class time spent on Student Board Notes in the firstyear of implementation often took over half of the class. Overall, faculty agree with studentsabout the imbalance in class time between conceptual understanding and quantitative elementsand look forward to addressing this shortcoming in the next

Such a TA is a “peer model,” and peer models areeffective in promoting “self-efficacy,” the belief that, by performing in a certain manner, one canachieve certain goals.There is also an advantage to hiring the best student you can find who has taken the course fromyou. This is because that student understands the material as you have taught it, and thus isbetter able to answer student questions on your lectures and assignments.

exclusionary learning environments and curricula, lack of facultymentorship and role models, and lack of a supportive peer group (see [4]-[6] research findings onthese topics). For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8]. However, Black and
