contribution of this paper is to summarize research on self-assessment overtime, including where it has and has not proved successful, as well as to survey severalapproaches and software applications for incorporating self-assessment into a course.Keywords: self-assessment, peer assessment, evaluation rubric1. IntroductionSelf-assessment is a powerful mechanism for enhancing learning. It encourages studentsto reflect on how their own work meets the goals set for learning concepts and skills. Itpromotes metacognition about what is being learned, and effective practices for learning.It encourages students to think about how a particular assignment or course fits into thecontext of their education. It imparts reflective skills that will be useful on the

With community-engagedscholarship, it is imperative for project goals to balance the needs of the community partnerswhile providing meaningful experiences for students. Additionally, the students must engage incritical reflection that includes articulating linkages between course concepts and communityengagement, addressing power and privilege, analyzing one’s role as a justice minded citizen,and examining new perspectives and changed views. A very valuable resource in formalizingthis type of engagement and reflection is the Community Engaged Learning PartnershipAgreement form provided by

The list of topics covered wasaltered to reflect those topics most directly relevant to the evaporator. Most notably, transientconduction, analogous mass transfer, and computational methods were dropped, and boiling wasadded. Other topics were expanded (convection) or de-emphasized compared to the 2015 course.Initially, it was anticipated that the format of the course would move away from lecture and moretowards directed analysis of the evaporator. However the course ended up enrolling a singlestudent*, who expressed a strong preference for lecture-style class meetings. Out of respect forthis preference

The results from the EABeffort allowed individual degree programs to evaluate the linkages between course grades andstudent graduation rates. Furthermore, it allowed establishment of success thresholds in keyclasses based upon a desired graduation rate.The motivation for the work reported herein was to combine our risk-prediction efforts

I feel that this is a major failing of theengineering program.”9The same question about the potential impact of curricular choice applies to computing, which—like engineering—suffers from gender diversity that is not representative of the population at large,nor the over 50% of bachelor’s degrees earned by women in the U.S. each year.10 In 2014, just 14%of computer science and 12% of computer

Out-of-class learning activitiesreinforce topics presented in lecture and serve to expand student comprehension. Thedevelopment of educational techniques to improve upon the efficacy of homework is an activeresearch area [1-4]. While educators agree upon the positive impact of homework, the form-factor and delivery method continues to be a topic of discussion [5-7]. Additionally, studentattitudes towards homework are also changing to reflect access to digital online modalities.While students often prefer an online presentation of homework, a recent study has shown thatperforming homework online does not significantly impact final grade performance as

At the same time, she alsomade sure that Sam knew that she would come back and check on the progress (“I’ll come backand check in a little bit”). In the process, she conveyed that the design process was not completeyet and there was room for further improvement thereby encouraging Sam to perform moreiterations.

in becomingprofessionally competent writers; such an approach often prompts for writing in draft stages andresponds to or intervenes with each draft as required, demonstrating to students that writingshould take place over time, in part to gain better control over the process (Fulwiler, 1987b;Bean, 2011).As a second example of the alignment of our approach with that of others, the teaching of higher-level writing skills, including synthesis and argumentation, in one upper-level biomedicalengineering course was done using an interactive coaching approach. One of the main lessonslearned was that writing must be assigned with sufficient time for students to receive feedback,reflect, and revise (Yalvac et al., 2007). Thus, feedback must be well
