The authorsalso found that as far as subgroups of students, there were differences between students who didnot intend to continue psychology studies as compared to the rest of the students. Those whointended to continue their studies in psychology had more favorable course experiences andapproaches to learning and higher efforts and performed better on the exam as opposed to thosewho do not plan to continue their studies in psychology.

Thus this question and answersession functioned as projection of ability: students noticed who had the ability to play the gamein asking this sort of question. Instead, for the programming beginners like Becca, it was aperiod of confusion and a reminder of just how far behind they were.This lecture discourse pattern also meant less class time for the planned basic content, an

In addition, during the decision making stage, analysis and modelling should be includedin the grading rubric as the engineering approach to designing is different from a hobbyistapproach which focuses on ‘trial and error’.References[1] S.

Often those referred studentswould set up appointments then not show, and simply did not reschedule or answer followups.[10]The author believes that well planned, multiple interventions will have an impact on plagiarismwith an international graduate student population. It also makes sense, as formerly cited researchsuggested, that academic integrity is clearly something that “cannot be imposed on students; itmust be accepted by them.”[21] The question then remains how to best accomplish thisacceptance.

to experience a phenomenon inaerospace engineering, let’s look at the experience of uncertainty in design, where uncertainty isthe phenomenon, decision-making in design is the task, and the aerospace engineering industry isthe context. The aerospace industry is risk-averse and seeks to reduce risk and cost by reducinguncertainty [29]. Lately, the aerospace business has taken a systems-of-systems approach todesign [30-33] in order to decompose the design space and to integrate the solutions withawareness of and planning for uncertainty resolution. Uncertainty plays a significant role indesign and every participant in the design process may have a slightly different understanding,where their understanding may not fall into a “right”, “wrong
