To that end, some desired attributes of the SeniorProject Rubric are evaluated:RQ1 (Applicability): Does the rubric’s methodology measure attainment of all of the SOs in ameaningful way? If not all, to which SOs is it not applicable?RQ2 (Extendibility): Is the rubric methodology(s) applicable to varied SO categories, and does itlend itself to fine tuning?RQ3 (Consistency): Is there reasonable expectation that repeated application of the rubric toidentical data should yield identical metrics?

We can use pathways of reflection to delineate combinations of theseelements. In this section, we unpack the elements of this framing (i.e., experience, lens, meaning, Page 24.776.2action, intentional, and dialectical) of reflection and then illustrate the ideas through a

. Therefore, there is no one –size-fits-all approach to PBL that can simply beimplemented from one institution to another. (20) There are essential and required steps that haveto be mobilized at the start of PBL. At the start of learning in PBL is the selection of realproblem(s). This is, in fact, the major driving force for learning. Effort and time dedicated to theselection of problem(s), is time well-spent and will eventually pay off. The problem(s) should bewell crafted to engage and immerse students in learning new materials, new issues, as well aschallenging existing knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It is important to note that PBL is not onlyabout giving problems and solving them in classroom, but it is also about creating opportunitiesfor

What role do you play, what method do you use, to make learning more effective for you? -As you think about your instructors, professors, advisor(s), what role do you think they have played that made you learn effectively?Data AnalysisAll sixteen interviews were transcribed.
