problem sets, assignments). Major examinations and problem solving exercises are
scheduled. Quizzes and seatwork are unannounced and are usually given at the end of the
lecture. Problem set assignments are to solved through team effort to maximize peer
tutoring and cooperative learning. Outputs are collected for evaluation. Individual
contribution to group will be rated by the instructor and by the co-group members.
