Learning outcomes were strongly correlated with course evaluation, but aftercontrolling for learning outcomes, he found that expected grades were not positively related toevaluations. In fact, in natural sciences, the highest-rated courses were some of the ones withlower grades. Courses that were either “too hard” or “too easy” were rated lower than coursesbetween these extremes.Eiszler [13] comes at the question from a different perspective—the change in grades andevaluations over time. Using data from more than 37,000 course sections offered between 1980and 1999, he found that during the 1980s, the percentage of students expecting As or A–s heldsteady, as did the average scores on course evaluations. But in the 1990s, the percentage

It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage basedbalance for measurements of normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressuredistribution as a function of air speed and angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronicpressure sensing is available on this facility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32individual electronic pressure sensors is also used in conjunction with this facility. This latterunit can be used to provide real-time visualization of the pressure distribution in the wind tunnel,in much the same manner as it has been used to

The scorecards provide ‘early warning’ of projects in trouble allowing students and faculty time to take corrective action. 5. Care must be taken in selecting the metrics as the student teams will tend to focus on those activities and may neglect others. 6. The number of metrics monitored must be kept manageable to encourage use. 7. Successful implementation requires buy-in by all the members of each project team and considerable planning in advance.References 1. Chen, S. Yang, C., and Shiau, J., ‘The Application of Balanced

Thus the MoSfor each student starts with a value of 0 that linearly approaches 1 until they complete (or fail tocomplete) the course. This metric addresses the fundamental risk that leaving even small tasks tothe last minute can lead to failure. It does not account for the difference between a studentmethodically progressing through the units and one who completes the majority near the end ofthe semester.Pacing Metric(s) - Pacing metrics discern between early and later procrastination by looking atthe completion dates for intermediary milestones as well as the date a student completes the lastunit.
