Overview, Introduction & Prerequisites:
In the SVCTE Mechatronics Engineering class we have five (5)Β Up Mini 2 printers.Β They work OK, but I think I will not buy any more.Β The print heads are a bit finicky and I currently have some that are down because the print heads are clogging.Β
I'm a huge supporter of Open Source and Creative Commons resources.Β This is another way of saying Free, Equitable and Accessible resources...Β π½οΈ π§ π° π ππ οΈ πΌοΈ - Want to Support Me on this endeavor?
Let's get started... Its going to be a wild, fun, awesome ride...

Primer: Β "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. Β If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so,Β Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.

π Formative Quiz - π Review
π Quiz -π Mastery Path
π Summative Quiz -βοΈ Skills Mastery Check
Quiz - verify that they are all listed as a "Formative", "Mastery Path", or "Summative"Β
π Formative Quiz - These are quizzes that the students can take a few times. I have them either set for unlimited times, or 3-5 times, where the final score is their average. The idea is that these Formative Quizzes are designed for students to learn and master a skill.Β while I want them to ger 100%, and when it's set to unlimited tries, the student should get 100% eventually.Β When the quiz is set to 3-5 tries with an average, then they should be prepared and should take the quiz seriously. I set the quiz to not show the right answer, but I do let them see their wrong answer.Β I also put the explanation of the right and wrong answer in the right and wrong answer prompt for each question.Β That way they can see why they got the answer wrong and learn from that experience.Β Β

π Quiz -π Mastery Path - These Mastery path quizzes are to be presented after the student has had a chance to do some labs and some Formative quizzes. Β The goal is to let students have 2 chances to take this quiz, and take the average of the 2 attempts.Β Based on the average, they will be presented with a Canvas Mastery Path, where they will have an option for take additional quiz and assignments to help with remediation.Β This will get them ready to take the Summative Quizzes.
