-build method also had a statistically significant effect onconstruction time at less than the 0.0001 level. The results indicate that, at least for the sampleprojects, construction time was significantly lower when design-build delivery method was used.By converting the value of the intercept and assigned values of delivery methods to theirexponentials (EXP), the model for estimating actual construction time in South India may beexpressed as follows:TIME = 2.354*COSTβ1*EXP(DBB)-0.094*EXP(DB)-0.661 Eqn.

This ensures that every instructor is aware of what and how he/she needs to assess. B. During Semester: All instructors are reminded that they need to document their course’s assigned performance criteria and to enter this information into ACTS. These reminders are made periodically at bi-weekly faculty meetings. C. End of Semester: Instructors complete assessment

Since much of the previous research hasfocused on secondary levels, it is time that we take what has been learned and begin to determineat which stage(s) in the students’ development conceptions and beliefs are being generated. Forexample, if we know that female and minority students are shying away from engineering whenthey come out of high school because of lack of understanding about the profession, then it isvital to determine at what point they formulate these beliefs and implement

There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in the Page 22.811.6process by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of aconcern whether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. Theviews expressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one tobelieve that it is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would bedeployed any time soon, unless drastic measures are
