Our small classes attempt to enculturate students into a rhetoricalmanner of thinking, that is, into a way of evaluating and responding to communicative situationsefficiently and effectively. As a result of this enculturation into a community of practice, ourclassroom is more like a laboratory than a lecture hall, a concept we discuss in section 5.As Wenger24 writes, “An identity is … more than just a single trajectory; instead, it should beviewed as a nexus of multimembership” (159). Thus, while communication professors seem tobelong to a community of practice that is fundamentally different from that which engineeringstudents hope to identify with, Wenger’s concept of multimembership enables

The graph with highest sum became our best fitmodel because it represents the graph with the most number of edges common acrossisomorphic classes. After running the algorithm on 100 iterations, we used Gephi, a popular networkanalysis program, to visualize the results. We used the Forced Atlas II layout algo-rithm to examine the graphs for evidence of face validity and to determine what thenetwork indicated about the groups that formed.

We became convinced through student testimonials that they needed to feellike, and be “regular” engineering students. Yes, they were admitted through a special programbecause of their potential, but once in the engineering college, students just wanted to be“normal.”To boost both students’ learning and their beliefs that they belong in engineering, in fall 2013 weconverted the traditional preparatory physics course to a hands-on format, implementing weeklyengineering-focused laboratories that focused on data collection, analysis and synthesis

In many naturalistic studies theknowledge is measured at the end of the RI. Knowledge at the beginning of the RI can only bereconstructed by e. g. counting the cumber of courses taken on the subject and respective gradesachieved.
