Each division has one or more not-for-profit agency/ies (such as a museum, government service, charity, etc.) as a communitypartner(s). The students work with their community partner(s) to identify, develop, and deliverprojects that meet the community partner’s needs.

However, the low overall utilization of the resource may be masking thepotentially significant difference between the two treatments seen in the high-access group.This investigation into homework solution format, as well as best-practices with regards toencouraging student use of the resource, will continue. Specifically, investigations are planned tostudy if providing students with a worked-out-homework solution (from a similar but notassigned problem) before the assignment is due is a more effective intervention than providingsolutions after the due date.Bibliographic Information[1] Steif, P.

We use S/U/- (satisfactory/unsatisfactory/Not Available) notation toidentify whether a student met one or more of these criteria in a given course. An S roughlymaps to grades of C or better, but is not always a given. Thus, each faculty member shouldmanually record these letter grades for each of his/her course students in a given semester.
