. An interesting observation regarding these last result was detectedthrough students’ comments during the self-assessment stage: in these teams with lowerperformances, the commitment level of some team member(s) was not the adequate throughoutproject development, which was reflected on the quality of requested deliverables, including thefinal presentation.The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) is a powerful tool used by creativity researchersin which panels of expert judges are asked to rate the creativity of creative products such asstories, collages, poems, and other artifacts18, 23. In our case, experts in the domain (chemical,food, and environmental engineering teachers and senior undergraduate students) in question(material balances

The students were given ten minutes toexamine the solution, find areas where they disagreed with the solution, write on a Post-it®where they disagreed with solution, what the disagreement was, and how to change the solutionto resolve the disagreement. Each place where they found a disagreement was to be noted on aseparate Post-it

Fall of 2012. Based upon both published results on “writing to learn” from the literatureand the authors’ observations from Fall 2012, it was reasonable to hypothesize that the activity ofwriting homework abstracts would lead to improved attainment of the course instructionalobjectives. However, the control experiment that was conducted in the Fall of 2013 did notproduce any evidence to support of this hypothesis.Literature Cited i Felder, R.M., “Stoichiometry without Tears”, Chemical Engineering Education, 24(4), 188-196, 1990. ii XXXX and YYYYY, “Effects of Requiring Students to Write Abstracts for Homework Problem Solutions,”Proceedings of the 2013 ASEE Annual Conference, Atlanta, GA (2013). iii Maharaj, S
