”factor(s) is or are, it is the opinion of many critics of entrepreneurship education that the topiccan be taught, but you can’t make someone an entrepreneur who does not have this “different”factor as a function of god’s will or fortunate genetics. As it is sometimes pithily articulated, oneis either born an entrepreneur or not.Legions of entrepreneurship educators around the country have heard this question and havegrown weary of responding. In our opinion, the question furtively is one of those trick questionsthat sounds profound but has no possible satisfactory answer. It’s similar to a question like “Areyou still beating your spouse”? The very attempt to answer the question provides it withundeserved legitimacy. The question about teaching

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

This “closes the loop”and fosters “teaching-for-learning.”The syllabus outlined formative assessment measures to answer a variety of questions.For example, what strategy would be most effective for helping students learn a specificconcept in your discipline? How will you know? Have others had success with specificmethods? If so, under what conditions? With what kinds of students? What researchexists to demonstrate these results? What assessment technique/s would help you knowthat your students understand the concepts? What worked? What didn't? What revisionsare appropriate? How successful was the re-design? What questions

The objectives that wespecify are intended to be things that our graduates should be able to achieve within the first fewyears after graduation. We are seeking your assistance to insure that the objectives we haveselected are appropriate for your organization and to help us measure our graduates’ progresstowards achievement of those objectives.On the next few pages you will see a series of questions about the objectives and your opinionabout ’s achievement of those objectives.

instructor. When students know that the instructordemonstrates genuine interest in their learning on an ongoing basis, and they see that s/heis willing to spend the extra time to ensure that they fully understand the concepts taughtin class, they will be more motivated to learn, and are more likely to rate the instructorhighly in the course evaluations.For instructors interested in adopting this technique in their courses, the first step is todevelop a detailed listing of the course topics in the order they will be covered in thecourse. Use an easy-to--read textbook or provide a set of concise course notes so that thestudents can readily map the various course topics in the module surveys to appropriatesections in the textbook or course notes.

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.

In fact, this has been the trendnationwide as many university power programs have declined in recent years.[4] At ColoradoSchool of Mines we are working to reverse the trend of diminishing interest among U.S. studentsin the electric power industry.Deregulation during the 1990’s caused tumultuous change for the energy sector. During theseturbulent times the utility sector also largely neglected its need to cultivate technical expertise.Reorganization of the industry caused many of the technically-oriented jobs to disappear. At thesame time, fewer students were studying power engineering, because they found the “glamorousand exotic (and quite often better paying)” high-tech areas of electrical engineering to be
