  2. Mary Budd Rowe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Budd_Rowe

    Mary Budd Rowe (1925–1996) was an American science educator and education researcher, best known for her work on "wait time," which showed that when teachers wait longer for children to answer a question, learning and inference can dramatically improve. [1] [2] She headed the science education research division of the National Science ...

  3. Response time (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_time_(technology)

    Response time is the amount of time a pixel in a display takes to change. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. Display monitors with long response times would create display motion blur around moving objects, making them unacceptable for rapidly moving images.

  4. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    In the study of queue networks one typically tries to obtain the equilibrium distribution of the network, although in many applications the study of the transient state is fundamental. Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be ...

  5. M/M/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue

    Response time. The average response time or sojourn time (total time a customer spends in the system) does not depend on scheduling discipline and can be computed using Little's law as 1/(μ − λ). The average time spent waiting is 1/(μ − λ) − 1/μ = ρ/(μ − λ). The distribution of response times experienced does depend on ...

  6. Turnaround time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_time

    Turnaround Time vs Response Time: Turnaround time is the amount of time elapsed from the time of submission to the time of completion whereas response time is the average time elapsed from submission until the first response is produced. Turnaround Time vs Wait Time: Waiting time is amount of time a process has been waiting in the ready queue.

  7. Active Student Response Techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Student_Response...

    Appropriate wait-time pause; Instructor uses a clear signal (e.g. "Tell me.") Instructor provides feedback for the majority answer (e.g. Correct! 9x9 is 81.") Response cards. Response cards are cards, signs, or other objects held up by students in unison in response to a question posed by an instructor.

  8. Jackson network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_network

    Jackson network. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Jackson network (sometimes Jacksonian network [1]) is a class of queueing network where the equilibrium distribution is particularly simple to compute as the network has a product-form solution. It was the first significant development in the ...

  9. M/D/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/D/1_queue

    M/D/1 queue. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, an M/D/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having a single server, where arrivals are determined by a Poisson process and job service times are fixed (deterministic). The model name is written in Kendall's notation. [1]
