Students’ difficulties with conceptual questions about force, velocity, and acceleration have been well documented. However, there has been no single systematic study of student understanding of all paired relations among the concepts of force, velocity, and acceleration. For example, a student who believes an object with a net force on it must be moving might not believe an accelerating object...

In this work a project on Dynamic, Discrete-change, Stochastic Simulation developed in the Engineering school (UdG) is presented. Each student selects (or is assigned by the professor) one problem. After the student has its particular problem: first, he must understand the system, and clearly define the goals. Next, he must formulate the model representation and translate into modeling software...

Organisations are continually seeking new ways to achieve competitive advantage and wordof-mouth (WOM) represents such an opportunity. However, little research has addressed differences in the content and style of positive and negative WOM. This study explores this issue through a series of six focus groups and 103 critical incidents surveys with 54 respondents. Results indicated that, when com...

• Collaboration policy: Homeworks must be done individually, except where otherwise noted in the assignments. “Individually” means each student must hand in their own answers, and each student must write and use their own code in the programming parts of the assignment. It is acceptable for students to collaborate in figuring out answers and to help each other solve the problems, though you mus...

There is a need for research exploring postgraduate research students’ expectations from research supervisors, the characteristics of effective student-supervisor relationships, and the opinions of students and supervisors about research supervision. We also need instruments to explore the student-supervisor relationship. The present study investigated postgraduate research students’ and resear...

The CIRCSIM-Tutor version 3 input understander is the module which will process student answers during a tutoring dialogue. We have transcripts of human tutors conducting such dialogues, as well as logs of students using earlier versions of the computer tutor. This paper addresses how the input understander handles some of the language phenomena we have observed. Even when the student is giving...
