utilization.Collection and analysis of results from the current and upcoming semesters are expected toprovide insight into how students approach these large projects and how changes over the courseof scaffolding assignments, instruction from learning modules, and reflections influences studenttime management and productivity as the class progresses. A portion of the structure of this studydoes depend upon self-reported data from students as a part of their reflection and could providevariability upon student engagement and honesty in reporting.References[1] S.
