Course Structure
Hybrid – much of the material is online
Competency-based – must achieve minimum standards on each
learning activity before taking Mastery Quiz or establishing Pace Rate
Problem Solving – the only way to master to material is to solve
literally hundreds of problems!
Statics is the ABCs of engineering
Course Structure
Meet 5 days per week
Regular Class Days – typically Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Remediation Days – typically Tuesday, Thursday
Course Structure
Regular Class Days
All students expected to attend
Arrive on time
Focus on this class the entire time
Stay the full class period
Come dressed & groomed per honor code
Course Structure
Regular Class Day Activities
Mini-lecture/Example Problems (10-15 minutes)
Group Work (0-15 minutes)
Time to Work on Individual Assignments (30-50 minutes)
Course Structure
Remediation Days
All students welcome to attend
Students who scored < 80% on most recent master quiz
(per schedule) are required to attend
Course Structure
Remediation Day Activities
Mathematica tutorials (0-15 minutes)
One-on-one conferences with students who scored <
80% on most recent master quiz (5-10 minutes)
Time to Work on Individual Assignments (35-60
minutes)
Competency Based, Hybrid
Preparation (I-Learn)
Introductory Notes
Prepare Videos
Assessments (Maple TA)
Practice Problems
Homework Exercises
Mastery Quizzes
Preparation Videos
Short video segments (1-5 min)
Focus on Key concepts from traditional lectures and example
problems
Typically 3-5 video segments per assignment
Complement text reading assignments
Recommend viewing videos outside of class
Complete Quiz after watching video segments
Practice Problems & Homework Exercises
All Practice Problems and Homework Exercises may be
repeated as many times as necessary to reach desired grade.
All Practice Problems and Homework Exercises in a given
unit must be completed at a minimum of 50% before taking
the Mastery Quizzes for that unit
Homework Exercises
Typically 3-4 analytical problems, assigned each class
period, posted on I-Learn.
Approximately 30% of the homework problems have
unique numerical values for each student
Adhere to BYU-I Homework Standard
Students report completion of homework assignment on I-
Learn AND hand in a hard copy of their homework
assignment in class.
Mastery Quiz
Typically 5 analytical problems, multiple choice format, taken at the
completion of the Unit.
Quizzes taken directly on I-Learn, honor code in effect.
Required to achieve at least 50% before being allowed to move on to
next unit (no minimum requirement on Advanced Mastery Quizzes)
May be repeated.
After 2nd attempt will be required to meet with instructor to review
quiz prior to subsequent attempt.
Only the highest score is recorded.
Pace Rate
The Mastery Quiz for a given unit must be completed at a
minimum of 50% before establishing a Pace Rate for that
unit
Pace Rate is a reward/penalty for a given unit assigned
relative to the unit’s due date.
The raw score on a Maple TA assignment will be
multiplied by the Pace Rate and the adjusted score
recorded in I-Learn.
Don’t forget to set Pace Rate!
Pace Rate
Days Late Pace Rate
0 (on time) 110%
1 105%
2 100%
3 95%
4 90%
5 85%
Days Late Pace Rate
6 80%
7 75%
8 70%
9 65%
10+ 60%
Individual assignment scores may continue to be
improved even after the Pace Rate for a unit is set.
Pace Rate
What is the highest grade that you can get on an assignment if
you don’t complete the entire unit?
60%
Basic vs. Advanced Units
Course consists of 9 Basic Units & 3 Advanced Units:

BYU-Idaho Learning Model
“The challenge before us is to create even more powerful and
effective learning experiences in which students learn by
faith. This requires, but is more than, teaching by the Spirit.
To learn by faith, students need opportunities to take action.”
(Kim B. Clark)
Dress & Grooming Standards
We encourage each of you to strengthen your commitment to
the BYU–Idaho Honor Code by maintaining appropriate
behavior, dress, and grooming standards while on campus.
Dress & Grooming Standards
As the weather continues to warm up, we want to remind
you that shorts, capris, flip-flops, tight or revealing clothing,
other inappropriate attire/styles, and unshaven faces for
men, are not permitted on campus. In addition, Hart issue
shorts may not be worn on campus except in the Hart
Building or other approved recreational facilities. Students
are required to adhere to normal Dress & Grooming
standards when coming to and from these facilities.
