Administering the survey each spring, with the assistance of the faculty Page 11.1166.6in senior level courses, ensures a good return rate.The ACI reviewed the instrument of this example relative to the criteria proposed by theNCHEMS. They determined that it satisfied at least two of the criteria that support use of selfreports of academic development.

Thus, at minimum, the projectsummary should state the issue or problem you propose to study, establish its relevanceand importance to your field of study, state your research hypothesis, and define the longterm goal(s), short term objectives, and associated activities. This is a good point todefine your proposed activities in the areas of research, education, and service oroutreach if appropriate. It is mandatory to state the intellectual merit and broaderimpacts of your proposed work in the project summary, as these address NSF’s meritreview criteria that are required of all proposals submitted

Meanwhile, technicalwriting educators constantly seek to reinforce the importance of writing to students outside of thewriting class. Both interests, and ultimately those of students, are served when educators from Page 11.669.2various engineering departments work with technical writing educators to develop a gradingsystem that provides specific grading criteria for the grader(s) to ensure

About two weeks following thedate when grades are due, the SPIE FORM forms are reviewed by the instructor.A protocol was submitted to the Purdue University, Committee on the Use of HumanResearch Subjects prior to first using the SPIE FORM in class. This is done to protect thestudent ’s privacy, safety, welfare, and rights and also to meet government guidelines2 .The protocol was deemed “exempt” because it is “conducted in established or commonlyaccepted educational settings” and it “involves normal educational practices.” Howeverthere is a stipulation for this exemption that the SPIE FORM has to be a part of

account for 65% grade. In such cases, students would treatthe portfolio seriously as a class assignment and spend more effort to create it.Comparing the Benefits and Drawbacks of Portfolio AssignmentsWhen students were required to include most of their work into the portfolio, an obvious benefitof creating the portfolios is for students to archive and review their work. This benefit wasmentioned in several studies. For example, students in Upchurch et al.’s study8 thought one ofthe main benefits of creating a portfolio was to archive assignments and to be able to review theirwork. Knott14 reported that students saw being able to keep a record of achievements and jobexperience as one major advantage of creating a portfolio. Heinricher11 reported

However, she never used that technique with any other student and itwas Betty Warren, who chases Ms. Watson’s departing taxi the longest and touches her handfrom her bicycle. Later Betty writes, “She came to Wellesley to make a difference, but to change for others is to lie to yourself.
