came prepared to discuss the module content,regardless of whether they overtly responded to the questions in the forum, it seemed to be areasonable decision to eliminate the “mandatory” nature of the forum post activity. This wasreinforced by participants’ feedback that indicated they saw these written posts as “make work”tasks.To better serve the needs of the GTA participants, the Nature of Learning module (T1M2) inthe original professor PD program was divided into two parts. Part A focused on lessonintroduction and the first 5 minutes whereas Part B emphasized lesson planning and creatingeffective learning outcomes. It should be noted that the concept of a lesson plan and a lessonplan template were provided in the program orientation session

wrong? Was it something related to the equipment? Was a step of the protocol missed?Were our tools and techniques not sufficiently accurate? Were conditions different than in thecited literature study?) Some errors can be quite subtle, while others are very well-known. Thestudents can also be asked for suggestions on how to improve the experiment or minimize theidentified errors.Another way to combat “bad” data is to have backup or example data sets available for studentsto use for reports. These data can be acquired while TAs are preparing for the lab, or they can begenerated from previous semesters if available. While it does not have to be perfect, the exampledata set will hopefully be more representative of the planned experiment’s expected

level of the assignment, acknowledging thediverse needs of students. Late Assignment Policy • Quizzes—need to be done on time; no make-up; for absences due to academic activities, let the instructor know before the quiz. • Applications and other assignments—1 to 2 days late, email the instructor; more than 2 days, email the instructor and tell them when you expect to get it done. • End Assessments—you must email the instructor and clear it with them first; make and communicate a plan of when it will be finished.Quizzes have the least impact on the grade and, thus, the least room for variation. Theyare also formative for the instructor to ensure students understand material

facilitating adult learning and pedagogy as the science of aiding children in theirlearning process. Self-directed learning became a model that distinguished adult learners by theirability to plan, carry out, and evaluate their learning at their own time, despite juggling job andschool responsibilities [23]. However, with the view that learners become increasingly self-directed as they mature, there was a growing argument that self-direction should be developed inyounger learners too [23].In recent times, the distinction between children and adults has become less distinct; somescholars argue that andragogy falls within pedagogy [25] and others have explored andragogicalmethods with participants aged 18 and above [26-27]. Studies have also highlighted

of the scoped articles described the influence that grades had on theirdecision making as a student. This included academic planning and big-picture decisions as wellas day-to-day decisions in courses and classes.Big-picture decisions described by students when it comes to choosing courses include whatcourses to choose and why they choose them. One research article reported students sharing thatthey rather take a course that was an easy A over a challenging course [25]. A different studydescribed students' displeasure with having to take courses that they deemed irrelevant to theircareer or “real life”, and their desire that these courses not impact their GPA [34]. These findingsrevealed that academic planning decisions are sometimes

Paige emailedthe students who were still representing design products so they could meet outside the seminarand she could better explain the difference.Value: Diversity. The point of the following example is to demonstrate that a shared value ofincluding diverse perspectives can occur alongside different interpretations of what constitutesdiverse perspectives. As mentioned in the previous section, week 8 was a new addition to theDear Design curriculum. Fiona was excited about the responses she had received from hercolleagues, noting in her reflections that, “my plan was to ask experts to say what they thought was important and

preparation.2.1.1 Designing effective syllabiSyllabi serve as a contract between instructor and students. New faculty members should ensurethat their syllabi communicate course objectives, learning outcomes, grading criteria, and policiesin a transparent and accessible manner. Providing students with an alternative lecture schedulecan also show an outlining key date for assignments, exams, and other important milestones. Thisclarity enables students to plan their study schedule effectively, manage their time efficiently, andstay on track with coursework.2.1.2 Laboratory Design and real-world connectionDesigning laboratories with stronger connections to real-world examples and theoretical knowledgeinvolves several strategies, including selecting

It may be too optimistic to credit students with self-awareness about their need for external motivation to continue reading; more likely, studentsappreciate the high degree of agency they can exercise over a portion of their course grade. a) Plans (n = 312) 139 120 42 11 b) Other Courses (n = 312) 140 102 53 17 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100

Theinstructor plans to incorporate online and HyFlex options in future course offerings and expandthis study by monitoring attendance and its impact on performance. This study provides a basisfor exploring the relationship between attendance and student outcomes and will pave the wayfor further research into its underlying mechanisms.AcknowledgmentsTo assist the writing process, the help of AIs was used; for example, we used Grammarly AI tocorrect grammar, check sentence formations, and improve writing.References[1] A.

and engage with seven othercase studies worked well within our given timeframe of nine weeks. We planned that studentswould dedicate three hours each week to this task over nine weeks. For larger classes, werecommend assigning students 6–8 case study discussions, assuming students have three hoursper week to work on the assignment. If less than nine weeks are available, adjustments to thetimeframes should be made accordingly. To help adjust to different scenarios, the followingequations can be used to adapt the approach. The crucial factor is how much time students haveto work on the assignment. We use hours per week (HW) in the following equations: 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎

Each modality's synchronous and asynchronouscomponents were thoughtfully balanced to meet the needs and preferences of a wide range oflearners.The careful planning of course components made it clear how the design affected studentengagement and success. A supportive learning environment was enhanced by proactivecommunication through multiple channels, early course module release, and clear instructions.The well-organized Canvas pages, Zoom recordings, and utilization of formative assessmentsfacilitated comprehension and engagement, transcending the limitations of both physical andonline environments.

describes the relationship between these factors, where perceived ease ofuse and perceived usefulness are predictors of behavioral intention to use, and behavioralintention to use predicts actual use [17]. In the TAM model, perceived usefulness is defined as the degree to which an individualbelieves that using a system would enhance their performance, perceived ease of use is definedas the degree to which a person believes that using a system would be free of physical or mentaleffort, behavioral intention to use is defined as the cognitive processes, plans, and motivations anindividual has to perform a behavior, and actual use is defined as the specific use of atechnology, including how frequency of use, time spent using it, and more [17
