Such positive impressions can aid promotion and tenure as well as increasingsuch faculty members’ influence on decisions of which classes they teach.This paper reviews the literature about student response units’ use and discusses prior researchinto their benefits. While this will touch on some best practices for using clickers, the focus isnot upon convincing instructors how to adopt or improve clicker usage. Much of the authors’prior experience with clickers has been in courses with a large quantitative component. Thispaper discusses the authors’ findings from their first application of clickers in a mainlyqualitative course. The results are consistent with previous results indicating that clickers are

[Berkeley] is considering whether to charge a small fee that could vary depending onstudents’ means.”10Impacts on Colleges and UniversitiesThe long term impact will be interesting in terms of researching how universities enhance theirunderstanding of how people learn through online education and how students can be graded,especially through evaluations that don't require relatively simple scoring techniques from multi-ple choice tests, for example.35Online education could greatly affect how colleges offer higher education, particularly at thegraduate level.11 Universities such as the

conversion. Economic analysis.Comments: Beside the prerequisites issue, this course seems to be well designed and is offered byone the best faculty in mechanical engineering. This course is an ideal candidate for fulfilling theelective units required by the minor we are going to offer.MSE 415: Product Design (3 Units)Prerequisite: MSE 412/L or graduate status. Engineering principles and practices of productdesign. Applications of process design for manufacturing engineering. Approaches to design formanufacture (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA). (Design units: 2.0)Comments: One of the issues is the prerequisite course required for taking this course. Since theprerequisite is an MSE course not included in the certificate, this will add 3 hidden

presented the results of a survey of engineering study abroad programs thatgave light to some best practices and assessment methods of undergraduate internationalexperiences. Lohmann et al.9 described a quasi-experimental research effort to measure theeffectiveness of study abroad programs using an instrument developed by the InterculturalCommunications Institute10. The Handbook of Intercultural Competence11 acknowledges,however, that developing reliable instruments for this complex construct is challenging due tothe influence of so many external factors and recognizes the efforts of few institutions, includingLohmann et al.9, in measuring impact. Further, Deardoff11 is an advocate of triangulation inwhich assessment instruments are complemented by

solving abusiness problem, instead of just blindly doing analysis with no application for the client.[3]Once an analysis is complete, the information must be presented either in writing or in person toa client. Therefore, it is important for analysts to have the ability to communicate the results ofan analysis in a way that can influence decisions. However, this is the portion of training thatsome analysts, like LaBarr[3] and Starbuck [10], think needs additional attention and training foryoung statisticians. Nonetheless, the best communication in the world will not help if thesenovices do not understand the basic theories and methodology behind the analysis; therefore allskills should be developed and practiced simultaneously throughout the
