it is criticalthat faculty work on improving their online teaching techniques, they must also optimize thebenefits of in-person learning when human-to-human interactions take place. One of the largestbenefits of in-person learning is the opportunity of social interaction. One study found thatallowing students to interact with each other in a flipped gamified environment provided betterlearning outcomes when compared with online or traditional education [12]. The impact of thispandemic is expected to affect social skills of those who were students during that time [4]. In-person learning provides opportunities for students to socialize with their peers and buildrelationships. It is important that, rather than taking these features for granted

positively affect motivation [1]. At the root of the model is that behaviorscongruent with one’s identities are preferred and motivating, whereas behaviors incongruent arenot preferred and viewed as unimportant and meaningless. Moreover, what children and youngadults perceive as congruent for them is heavily influenced by what they see and experience. Assuch, role models (teachers, mentors, peers) who reinforce and share in a given identity make itfeel congruent. It can then be more readily adopted as a part of their identity – who they are.This is why having caring, dedicated and multiple mentors, for example, is at the heart of boththe CISTAR and NSBE SEEK parts of the REM program and is so critical for changing thedemographics of fields such as

IntroductionThe undergraduate program at the Portland State University Department of Electrical andComputer Engineering (PSU ECE) includes a three-quarter capstone design sequence typicallytaken during the student's senior year. For the last three years, and a fourth currently ongoing attime of writing, a capstone project has been sponsored by the author's Wireless EnvironmentalSensing Technology (WEST) Lab. The purpose of these sponsored capstones are as follows: 1. In the short term, design a wireless sensor to solve a specific problem. 2. In the long term, converge at a more general-purpose hardware and software solution set with which to design future wireless

After this gallery walk concludes, students thentake turns presenting their homework results to the class.

This observation approach offers benefits for the studentobservers, instructors, and the overall teaching enhancement mission of institutions. One of themain benefits of student observer programs is that they provide instructors with an opportunity toreceive constructive and formative feedback on their teaching from a different perspective thantheir peers or their students. By observing, recording, and possibly discussing these aspects withthe instructors, student observers can provide authentic insights into the effectiveness of teachingmethods and offer real-time, firsthand constructive feedback for improving

are less under their control. Though it is notintended for the education environment, a simple act of assigning grades may already put gradersin a powerful position. By democratization, we (as instructors) basically release our “gradingpower” in the courses and engage students in the grading processes. Examples include contractgrading, self-grading, and peer evaluations.In our view, these categories of alternative grading can address the negative features oftraditional grading discussed earlier. First, both lower grade granularity and democratization ofgrading can make grading less judgemental as students are not compared by hair-splittingdifferences, and they can have more control in grading. Second, standardized and iterativeformative

compared to that of the topic-quiz reflection. These results might beexplained by the fact that students were requested to write a 1-page reflection for both the topicquiz and DYOP. It is reasonable that for some levels to increase, others must decrease. Sinceproblems designed by students on the DYOP were of similar complexity as those they completedon quizzes, a decrease in percent coverage at the Understand and Apply levels indicates lessemphasis placed on engagement at these levels during reflection rather than less engagement atthem. Indeed, it would be difficult for students to engage at the Analyze level without first havingengaged fully in the Understand and Apply levels.

developing feedback literacy. The framework also draws from Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick's [20] principles of good feedback practice, emphasizing the role of peer and self-assessment in feedback processes. In the context of Scrum, this dimension reflects the framework's collaborative nature, where feedback sources are not limited to the traditional instructor-student dynamic but include peers and self-reflection [22]. 2. Feedback Timing: Timeliness in feedback is highlighted by Hattie and Timperley's [19] model of effective feedback, which emphasizes the importance of immediate feedback in learning processes.

happy witha ‘C’ (a passing grade) while another wants an ‘A’. The one desiring the ‘A’ often then mustcarry the team and resents the fact that the other members obtained a high mark without puttingin the work. On the other extreme, each member of the team must materially participate in allaspects of the project (e.g. a team can’t decide one person will write the report, another will dothe calculations, etc.). The instructor’s challenge in this paradigm is to then determine how eachperson performed individually, independent of how well the team performed. Most instructorsattempt something in between these two extremes.As anyone who has taught a class with team projects knows, such courses are typically moredifficult to teach than more
