	.			B6	-	create	-	Design a truss that would cost half as much but last twice as long.
				B5	-	optimize	-	Minimize the truss' weight, cost, etc.
		60%	-	B4	-	compare	-	Which truss is the safest for the given loads?
		70%	-	B3	-	calculate	-	Calculate the force in each truss member.
		80%	-	B2	-	understand	-	Identify all of the special joints.
		90%	-	B1	-	read	-	Label the following trusses.

• 100% of incoming S&T freshmen have trouble with Apply skill (they are not taught in K-12) 
• 60% of incoming S&T freshmen have trouble with Understand skill 
• 20% of incoming S&T freshmen have trouble with Remember skill

Is intelligence fixed?

Time on task, skill development

To calculate your current grade:

Current grade = [ 0.15(Quiz 1) + 0.15(Quiz 2) + 0.15(Quiz 3) + 0.15(Quiz 4) + 0.03(Robot lab) + 0.03(influence line lab) + 0.03(superposition lab) ] / [ 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.03 ]

To calculate your grade at the end of the semester:

Semester grade = [ 0.15(Quiz 1) + 0.15(Quiz 2) + 0.15(Quiz 3) + 0.15(Quiz 4) 0.15(Quiz 5) + 0.03(Robot lab) + 0.03(influence line lab) + 0.03(superposition lab) + 0.16(project) ] / [ 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.16 ]

To calculate the average grade you will need on Quiz 5 and the semester project:

Remaining grades needed to earn an A = { 89.5 - [ 0.15(Quiz 1) + 0.15(Quiz 2) + 0.15(Quiz 3) + 0.15(Quiz 4) + 0.03(Robot lab) + 0.03(influence line lab) + 0.03(superposition lab) ] } / [ 0.15 + 0.16 ]

Remaining grades needed to earn a B = { 79.5 - [ 0.15(Quiz 1) + 0.15(Quiz 2) + 0.15(Quiz 3) + 0.15(Quiz 4) + 0.03(Robot lab) + 0.03(influence line lab) + 0.03(superposition lab) ] } / [ 0.15 + 0.16 ]

Remaining grades needed to earn a C = { 69.5 - [ 0.15(Quiz 1) + 0.15(Quiz 2) + 0.15(Quiz 3) + 0.15(Quiz 4) + 0.03(Robot lab) + 0.03(influence line lab) + 0.03(superposition lab) ] } / [ 0.15 + 0.16 ]
