Warschauer and Healey30provided an overview of current teaching practices and research related to the uses of computersin the language classroom. Lu and Bol20 found that peer review has become commonplace incomposition courses and the results of their research from both semesters showed that studentsparticipating in anonymous e-peer review performed better on the writing performance task andprovided more critical feedback to their peers than did students participating in the identifiable e-peer review.

The main purpose of the meetings was tomake the students accountable for keeping up with their research, to discuss the journal articlesthat they were assigned, to provide opportunities for presenting their results, and interacting withtheir peers and the faculty supervisor. The following excerpt from the course syllabussummarizes the expectations for this research course: Laboratory notebook. The student will keep a notebook recording all his/her findings. This will be reviewed periodically by the faculty mentor to ensure that the essential data is properly recorded and organized so that it can be used to write the final report and poster

Life as an engineering faculty member requires thewriting and review of two major documents in their own lives: the thesis and the dissertation. Eventhe youngest assistant professor has been closely connected to writing a spectacular document andwhat it means to do so. It would be an interesting study to see how many faculty members nevermade a comment on the theses and dissertations of their own students.Faculty members should think beyond the technical assignments that are given to students to issuesthat are raised in their own writing and

Female engineering students tend to have lower self-efficacy than male peers,reporting that they perceived they were not able to perform as well as their peers [10]. Self-efficacy has been shown to influence engineering students’ self-regulated learning behaviors andGPA [11].

A solution to increase the effectiveness of the peer-graded assessments wasnot adequately found therefore in the subsequent offerings of the course all six weeklyassessments were turned into automatically graded assignments. Thought was given to bringingthe peer assessments back for the campus-based mini-MOOC but the idea was dismissed in favorof the improved assignments that have taken their place.Planned assignments for the Spring 2014 mini-MOOC, and their respective percentage
