The journal should also include log of thestudent's activities and a collection of thoughts and insights gained from the activities. Thejournal may contain any on-the-job issues or problems and related solutions or courses of actiontaken. A final report is also mandatory. This is above and beyond the weekly journal.

the community, and 3) enabling students to practice autonomy and personalresponsibility in directing their own learning.Servant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm established by Robert Greenleaf in the 1970’s thatemphasizes power sharing in decision making processes. It also encourages leaders to servethose they manage by gently guiding and propelling them toward high achievement andaccomplishment while promoting their growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership advocates ahierarchical structure different from the classical top-down management pyramid often seen inindustry and academia. In industry, management rests at the top of the structure supported byworkers, and in academia, teachers are authority figures with control over content

Some students also had attended department-specific safety programs- usually in the first year of their graduate programs. To upgrade all students skills, the leadoperator(s) of each piece of major equipment led a short workshop on using that peice ofequipment. Students attending the workshops were enthusiastic about the training. As shown inTable 1, Question 1, students ranked their base knowledge of operating the laboratory equipmentrelatively high (5.9 out of 8), but still felt that the workshops significantly improved their skills.

The support count of an itemset is the number of transactions that contain theitemset. We denote the number of elements in an itemset x by |x|. Then the support of itemset x is σ ( x) = {t i | x ∈ t i , t i ∈ T } .The support of a rule x→ y, is the proportion of transactions that contain the itemsets in the rule.This is the support count of the union of the antecedent and the consequent divided by the totalnumber of transactions as in Equation 1. σ ( x ∪ y) s( x → y

The method is typically applied in situationswhere judgmental information is needed to set goals, develop policy, and predict the events offuture events [14, 16, 17]. The key advantage of

Using an online simulationprovides an outlet for collection of data within constraints of a stand-alone technical writingcourse: limited time and laboratory equipment resources; and is an effective way to engagestudents in laboratory report writing.Works Cited1 Atman, Cynthia J., Sheri D.
