Article Context

Description

The modeling activity on car suspensions assumes that students have grappled with second order linear homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients.  Here are suggested options:

  • The instructor may cover the pre-requisite material entirely on her/his own
  • The instructor may use the following to cover, and possibly assess, the pre-requisite material.  This portion can be particularly valuable in a remote environment.
  • The video files  "01.Order2LinHomConstCoeff_part1.mp4" and "01.Order2LinHomConstCoeff_part2.mp4" provides an active learning overview of prerequisite material.  This includes some informal "think..." questions along with more formal questions to assess the understanding.  Students can turn this in prior to seeing the answers.
  • The video file  "02.Order2LinHomConstCoeffANSWERS.mp4"  has the answers to the preliminary questions

The instructor can decide whether or not to grade the student responses to the background material. The rubric assumes they are graded.
