This study by Eram Haider, Eric Helton, and Ryan Tidwell investigates the usability of markers in educational settings. Two tests were conducted to measure the average life span of unused markers and understand student and teacher reactions to working versus dried markers. The findings reveal significant differences in frustration levels when using dried markers compared to functional ones, highlighting the importance of reliable teaching tools in classrooms. This research underscores the necessity for educators to ensure availability of fully functional writing instruments for optimal learning experiences.

Justification • Surveys • Observations • Test
Surveys E-mailed surveys • Teachers and students • Principals
Test #1 Executed • Research average life span of an unused marker • Take ten marker cap off leave them on book shelf • Record average life span of the ten markers • Compare to the average life of an unused marker
Test #1 results • Average Life Span of an unused marker • Average Life Span of always open marker
Test #2 Executed • When markers are needed give ten dried markers • Observe reaction after each marker use • Next, give five working markers, five dried markers • Observe reaction after each marker • Finally, give ten working markers observe reaction
Test #2 results Ten Dried Markers • Markers 1-3 • No frustration • Markers 4-6 • Minimal frustration • Markers 7-10 • Extreme Frustration
Test #2 Results Five Dried Markers and Five Working Markers • Working Markers • Showed much content • Dried Markers • Showed extreme frustration
Test #2 Results Ten Working Markers • Working Markers • Showed pleasure when no dried marker was reached
