Performance Criteria for Students:

·       Demonstrate persistent and active learning through an organized approach that includes attending every class and lab period, reading ahead and bringing appropriate materials to support quality and active participation in class activities, organizing work neatly in portfolios, and appropriately using available resources to aid in learning course material.

 

·       Thoroughly visualize dynamics concepts through the use of correct, complete, simple, well-labeled diagrams or sketches that aid in understanding problems, lab setups, or ideas and help to connect real world applications to the equations used to model those situations.

 

·       Develop high-level modeling skills where appropriate variables and governing equations can be quickly and correctly identified and interconnected to describe a physical situation as demonstrated on homework, laboratory and exam problems.

 

·       Professionally perform design project activities as evidenced by complete documentation of team activities, quality engineering analyses relevant to the project, clear, concise, and careful written reports, adhering to a reasonable time schedule, and successful production of a prototype that can be “sold” in an oral presentation.

 

·       Exemplify effective communication skills in and out of class as demonstrated through the use of appropriate technical language in class and laboratory settings and as documented in laboratory abstracts, laboratory reports, homework problem statements and solution procedures, and reflective free-writing.

 

·       Demonstrate quality reflective practice in learning via the use of such techniques as discussion statements summarizing homework problem difficulties, performing regular self and/or peer assessment of performance in course activities, the use of free-writing to illuminate concepts in ways that make sense to you as a student, and the solicitation of feedback from appropriate resources to aid understanding after documenting initial work.

 

·       Effectively contribute to team performance by taking personal responsibility for the success of team efforts through commitment to shared goals and the use of quality teaming skills such as performing assigned roles, listening, compromising, demonstrating respect for others.

Methods of Assessment and Evaluation

 

Homework Portfolio (30%):  3-6 homework problems will be assigned each class period.  These problems provide ample opportunity for learning physics at the application and analysis levels of learning.  Homework problems will be accumulated in a portfolio and collected by the instructor periodically.  Generally the instructor will provide assessment feedback to recognize and increase your performance in this learning process.  However, at mid-term and at the end of the semester an evaluation (see rubric) will be made of the homework performance demonstrated by the student. 

 

Self-Assessment and Learning Journal (10%): Self-assessment, peer assessment, and assessment of assessment will be performed by class members in order to help improve learning, ensure understanding of problems, and improve problem-solving capabilities.  Time to perform this assessment will be periodically provided in class.  There will also be periodic times during class where free-writing about your personal learning experience related to homework or general course content can be documented and synthesized.  Generally the instructor will provide assessment feedback to recognize and increase your performance in this learning process.  However, at mid-term and at the end of the semester an evaluation (see rubric) will be made of the self-assessment and free-writing journal performance demonstrated by the student. 

 

Quizzes (5%):  There will be periodic 5-minute quizzes during the semester to evaluate whether assigned readings are completed before the class period.  Quizzes may or may not be announced ahead of time.  No make-up quizzes will be given.  Quizzes missed due to a serious illness or a family emergency (these must be documented) will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. 

 

Exams (35%):  There will two in-class mid-term exams and a final exam.  Each in-class exam will be worth 10% of the total grade.  The final exam will be worth 20% of the total grade.  The mid-terms approximately one-half to two-thirds of the final are not cumulative other than the fact that some of the material will be dependent on previous material.   The last portion (one-third to one-half) of the final exam will be cumulative.  No make-up exams will be given.  If you have a serious conflict with an exam time, you must discuss it with the instructor and take the exam early.  Exams missed due to a serious illness or a family emergency (these must be documented) will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. 

 

Team Design Project (20%):  Teams of 3-5 members will be formed.  Each team will produce a design during the semester that involves the use of a number of engineering dynamics principles.  Two progress reports will be assessed by the instructor during the semester to recognize and increase your performance in the learning process. At the end of the semester a final report, along with an oral presentation, will be evaluated by the instructor to determine the project grade (see rubric).  Peer and self-assessment will be incorporated into the process on a regular basis and may be used to aid in a decision on the final grade.
