Vocabulary Instruction through Blended Learning and Multimedia Software in Iranian ESP Classes

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of blended learning and multimedia software on Iranian ESP students' vocabulary learning. To this end, 120 Iranian ESP learners were assigned to two groups: the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instructions through multimedia software while the control group received traditional instructions. The data were c...

Computability in an Introductory Course

The programming approach to computability presented in the textbook by Kfoury, Moll, and Arbib in 1982 has been embedded into a programming course following the textbook by Abelson and Sussman. This leads to a course concept teaching good programming practice and clear theoretical concepts simultaneously. Here, we explain some of the main points of this approach: the halting problem, primitive ...

An Introductory Course to Judgment Aggregation

Reaching some form of consensus is often necessary for autonomous agents that want to coordinate their actions or otherwise engage in joint activities. One way to reach a consensus is by aggregating individual information, such as decisions, beliefs, preferences and constraints. Judgment aggregation is a social choice method, which generalises voting , that studies the aggregation of individual...

An introductory course of modeling and computation for chemical engineers

A new introductory course for modeling and computation, with main emphasis on computer-based problem solving has been developed. Advanced features for enhancing learning effectiveness included in the course are: the use of real life engineering problems as starting points for learning new material, multistage problems, where the problem difficulty and the complexity of the computational tool ar...
