The performance of the ASR system trained on lecture data and tested on lecture data is slightly poorer than the ASR system trained on Olive data and tested on Olive data.
Table 3 shows the word error rates (WERs) and phone error rates (PERs) given by the ASR systems trained on the Olive and lecture data and tested on the Olive and lecture data (TTS data), respectively.
Non-traditional lecture, memorization, and testing methods enable in-class activities to engage students in a wide range of intellectual skill sets both conventionally academic and broadly applicable [ 20– 20].
The 120-min lectures and post-test were held every three months and based on CDC guidelines.
Topics covered in the 120-min lectures and post-test included the epidemiology of CRBSIs, aseptic technique, use of maximal barrier precautions during central vein catheter insertion, preference for the jugular vein as a central vein insertion site, routine central vein catheter site care, proper technique for obtaining blood cultures, and guidelines for changing IV tubing and administration sets.
During disorientation, the students — 85 percent of them Egyptians — are taught to learn in ways quite at odds with the traditional method of teaching in this country, where instructors lecture, students memorize and tests are exercises in regurgitation.
Students can share their notes from lectures, textbooks or for exam and test prep, and can even create supplementary resources including video attached to popular subjects, textbooks or even individual courses.
Student disinterest in science and nature when studied in a prep-for-the-test, lecture, and textbook format can also be a hindrance.
They abandoned an exclusively lecture-based pedagogy and tests that rewarded factual recall (Nehm and Reilly 2007).
For the analysis of the effect both of lecture and of the modules, each test group was broken down into two approximately equal subgroups: students whose averages on the first two exams were <80% and students whose averages were ≥80%.
Test scores on lecture and website content and ratings of instruction and technology for the four conditions were compared with analysis of variance and chi-square tests.
