Introduction to Robotics

Review in a team for Exam E1

Objectives

This assignment is to be completed in class in a team.

Levels of Learning

The primary goal in this assignment is to help you to learn to construct your own review while getting you actively involved in the learning process.  Ideally, I want to help you to learn to focus on what is important as you discuss the course content in your group.

Created by Benjamin Bloom, the following taxonomy is often  used to categorize the levels of learning:
  1. knowledge
  2. comprehension
  3. application
  4. analysis
  5. synthesis
  6. evaluation
Your group will be assigned several topics, and you will be asked to develop 2-3 sets of questions which attempt to test at least two different levels of learning for each topic.  


Example

Assignment A6

Team jadudm-pearcej:
  • Jan Pearce, Scribe
  • Matt Jadud, Teammate
Topic:  The Robot Primer Chapter 1

Examples of knowledge level questions: 

  1. Fill in the following blank with the terminology from the reading:
    1. ______________________ is what it is called when any robot is “remote control” operated at a distance by a human. (Hint: The  root of this word come from Greek and means "operating a system from afar".
    2. A/an ______________________ robot acts on the basis of its own decisions, and is not controlled by a human.
    3. To perceive the world, a robot must get information from its ______________________.(These give information such as sound, vision, smell, etc.)
  2. According to our text's author, the current understanding of what a robot is required all of the following EXCEPT:
    1. Is an AUTONOMOUS system, acting on the basis of its own decisions rather than being directly controlled by a human.
    2. Exists in the PHYSICAL WORLD.
    3. Can SENSE its environment.
    4. Can COMMUNICATE information.
    5. Can TAKE ACTIONS to achieve SOME GOAL.
Example of a knowledge+application level question set:

  1. Using full sentences answer the following on the robot definition given in the text:
    1. State the five essential components of the text's definition of a robot.
    2. Then use this definition to take a position and to argue whether or not a sophisticated modern coffeemaker which can be set to have coffee ready at a particular time is or is not a robot.
...Then your team will move on to the next topic...

Create a new Microsoft Word or text document named yourusername1-yourusername2-A6. 

At the top of your document, place the following:

Assignment A6
  1. Include the names of your team members, including who is serving as scribe:
    • Team Member #1 (Scribe)
    • Team Member #2:
    • Team Member #3:
  2. For each assigned topic,
    1. List  the question topic.  (Chapter 1 in the example above.  Be sure to do this to get full credit!!)
    2. As you see in the example given above, create 2-3 different sets of questions at at least two different levels on the following taxonomy:
      knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation
      Note: do not provide answers to the questions you create.
When you are finished with all assigned topics, do BOTH of the following:
  1. Save the file as  yourusername1-yourusername2-A6 and submit the file to the appropriate location in Moodle.  If you are not the scribe, simply submit the names of your other teammate(s).
  2. Paste the UNANSWERED questions into the appropriate area of your section-appropriate one of the following:
    1. Section A: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b9fmdqQJCCBlATjySdRffS4yqRPxsnYviuULczi-GlU/edit?usp=sharing
    2. Section B: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kCHlQBOmdE7HfW3jnp1H6JYhypB0WMBBKbU3wNlDMGs/edit?usp=sharing
    3. This will be our review sheet accessible to the entire class.

Note that because the set of all questions generated by the class will be provided as a review immediately, this assignment will not be accepted late.
