“best practices” of implementing PEL projects include providing time for project development,advance notice for students to ensure clear expectations, and that projects designed to besemester long should include a variety of course concepts. One faculty member suggests that it isbest to assign the project early in the semester “so that they can get thinking on a concreteexample[s].” This additional time allows student groups to review the project concept severaltimes as a group and turn to instructors throughout the semester for clarity. Due to theassessment weight and the length of the project, student project groups are often strategicallycomposed to provide an intellectual balance. Instructors also hope to encourage peer-to-peerinstruction

from inside academia and especially from many professors who seem not to thinktwice about their commitment to this philosophy. This argument coincides with deeper cuts inuniversities‟ budgets. Universities are trying to compensate these cuts by increasing fundingfrom private groups willing to “help academia to achieve its goals” being the private sector,claiming an “ad-hoc” education. The loud calls to align industry and businesses with academia seem to be reasonablebased on economic constraints on both sides and the fact that “our students will benefit from it.”Another strong argument in favor of the social benefit of the alignment of business‟s needs, andcollege curriculum is the fact that our worldwide competitiveness will improve

The substance of the talk/seminar is usually a report of the speaker(s) work.  Module: A module is a short treatment of a policy topic, usually occurring within a larger class. Modules usually take place over 1-3 course periods.  Workshop: A workshop is an in-depth treatment of a specific topic, usually occurring outside the regular classroom setting. Workshops usually last 2 hours – 2 days.  Exposure Experience: An exposure

This approach eliminatesthe need for the traditional triangular distribution parameters of the high with a specifiedpercentile, the low with a specified percentile, and the mode. It is difficult to get estimates of thehigh and low values associated with percentiles, whereas the H/L ratio is easier to obtain forestimates.

The pilot study results provide many valuable inputs thatallow continuous improvement of the app. The authors are currently working on a new app witha more engaging game interface. The purpose of the new app is to attract students to maintaintheir interest and to increase their time of using the app to improve their academic performance.After the new app is fully tested and assessed, it will be made available freely through Apple Appstore and Google Play.Reference 1.
