First,instructors identify learning outcomes for the class as a team and then break these down intoindividual learning outcomes for each subdiscipline/instructor. Next, instructors research andselect assessment methods, including formative and summative assessment strategies for theoverall course and individual instructors. Then, instructors develop methods for grading andproviding feedback before developing learning activities and associated grading aids.Along the way, instructors develop the syllabus, rubrics, lesson plans, and online

The uniquenessof this faculty residency performed by one of the authors is that the author was able to transferknowledge gained to the students weekly while working on the residency. It helped the facultyresident to pre-plan the course before the beginning of the summer semester since the AGCapplications are usually approved around January of every year, and the applications detail the12-week learning outcomes. The author was able to develop the course syllabus and outlinebased on the application learning outcomes. As a new course elective, the author, who is also afaculty resident, was able to decide on the course topics and outcomes months before thebeginning of the

Course StudiedThe studied senior capstone design course covers many topics, including review of process flowdiagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), applying informationlearned in previous courses toward the design of chemical processes, use of ASPEN, costingcapital equipment / manufacturing, and engineering economics. The course is delivered as atwice-a-week 75-minute lecture with active learning activities (e.g. think-pair-share) led by theinstructor approximately every 15-20 minutes. Classroom and syllabus policies remainedunchanged from those prior to the
sequencing was deemed important as these topics served as examples in CAD topicslater (e.g. designing machine elements) and students had to be mindful of engineering designconsiderations (e.g. mechanical strength, cost, quality) in design assignments. Moreover, itwas thought that having traditional, in-person sessions that required moderate engagementand were predictable in their flow at the start of the semester would allow the students andthe instructor to ‘settle in’, develop a sense of community, and understand the norms andexpectations of the course. In subsequent weeks, the less traditional pedagogical approachesdiscussed next were deployed.Flipped Teaching:It was inadvertently discovered during the first (online-only) iteration of the course
courses gradually decreased from 85-90% to 55-60 % in large classes. In 2016 theuniversity established an “Instructor-initiated Drop policy”. The policy allows instructors to dropthose students who exceeds the absence or missed assignment limits for the class described andspecified in the course syllabus. The newly established “Instructor-initiated Drop policy” wasadopted and enforced in three different courses taught from fall 2018 through fall 2019 semesters.The policy improved class attendance, completion of homework assignments, and student passrates. During the COVID pandemic the university suspended the “Instructor-initiated Droppolicy” and did not re-initiated it until fall 2022. In teaching upper division courses in fall 2021and spring
worked as a team to develop a syllabus that could be adopted by other instructors.The syllabus includes recorded video lectures of some of the graduate mentoring topics. This would allowother faculty members to easily adapt them for their classes. In addition, we developed reflective promptsfor students to think about weekly and in-class activities to supplement the course development.Another important aspect of this course is the use of labor based grading. This method was developed byDr. Asao Inoue [32] as a way to make grading less colonial. We have now tested this method in theCURE and M-CURE course and found it to be well aligned with the goals of the course, since it providesa structured method for organizing resubmission of student
lesson, or understanding of thecourse material without the anxiety of a graded quiz [2, p. 37]. Standard quizzes established inthe syllabus can be met with anxiety and cause students to underperform due to the added stress.With an extra credit pop quiz, students can demonstrate an increased understanding of the coursematerial without this added anxiety that is present during the standard quiz. Moreover, theconcepts covered in an extra-credit pop-quiz can be outside the typical structure of quizzesoffered since the quiz does not pose any threat to their grade in the course. Additional assignments outside of scheduled class time is another option for extra credit;however, student opinion and completion of these assignments are extremely low

Some concerns the industrypartner has raised is around programming and the student’s lack of training. This concernties to a broader challenge within the OSU BME curriculum that does not prepare studentsfor the level of programming required. In the future, the industry partner will aim toinclude programming booth camps to ensure the students are prepared to handle thesechallenges.The future plan for this course is to become an official course.

The rule of thumb in this stage is not to judge any idea that appears, as even the weirdestone may be the ideal solution.The authors, during this phase, consulted with faculty and teaching assistants (TA) to identify theareas where the chatbot could help. The identified areas are shown in Figure 2. Course informationcan be found on the course syllabus or course LMS page.

These learning outcomes arestated in the course syllabus and are reviewed by the students at the beginning of the course.However, normally the students do not review them frequently during the semester.In 2022, a detailed list of learning outcomes was defined for the Introduction to Cyber Securitycourse for Majors. This list includes a granular set of outcomes that students should achieve aftereach class of the semester. Using the Learning Management System (LMS), these outcomes areincluded in each week’s module and are also reviewed at the beginning of each class. In thisway, students are constantly in contact with this information.This paper presents the

Theclaw-back incentive provides an exception to the final exam, which is granted and explained onthe syllabus on the first day of class. The incentive for performing well on the roboticprogramming project will be revoked or 'clawed back' when the performance metrics are not met.Research by economist John A.

. Students are often unaware of what constitutes a violation and of its potential consequences. To address this, we design a standalone, self-paced, online Academic Integrity course module targeted at CS students. Our module aims to increase student awareness about academic misconduct, inform students about the potential consequences of academic misconduct, and educate students about strategies and resources to avoid academic misconduct, incorporating scenarios and information specifically relevant to CS throughout. In this paper, we present the details of the module and report our experiences and analysis from deploying it in eight courses within the CS program at UNC Charlotte in the Spring and Fall of 2021

More importantly, it provides them the opportunity to fail, and learn from their failures.A major problem with the traditional class structure of today is that it relies heavily on thepass/fail aspect of the course, putting pressure on undergraduate students. Most students have not been previously exposed to the material before coming into aclass, yet their final grade suffers if they make a mistake on assignments or tests. Whether theylearned from their mistake or not is irrelevant because their grades have suffered irreversibly.With IBL's structure, students can make mistakes as they learn while still being able to

The team established guidelinesfor ensuring that collective decision-making remained part of the course development process fornew integrated PBL classes, while ensuring that lead instructors have the necessary autonomy tomove forward with course design and delivery. The intention is that at least three months prior tothe start of the semester, lead instructors will present their course syllabus to the full group fordiscussion and approval. The syllabus will include course outcomes, an outline of coursecontent, a breakdown of assessment plans, and their intended approach to project-based learning,including expected student deliverables.
