A very high number of par-ticipants said that the two unique features of CONSIDER approach –anonymity and rounds-basedstructure– helped improve the quality of discussion in their groups (83 and 75% respectively).Their text comments to the reflective questions highlight the importance of the unique features ofCONSIDER.We plan to further evaluate the efficacy of the features of CONSIDER by designing careful ex-periments in coming semesters and using the tool in different engineering classrooms. This setof experiments will help us evaluate the effectiveness of these features of CONSIDER. We wouldalso like to perform a detailed analysis on the

using the email we have for them onfile. It should be noted that only 75 email survey requests out of 1055 bounced back, this wouldlead us to conclude that a majority of the requests were either ignored or were not read. We planto provide some incentives for students to complete the surveys going forward. We also plan toadminister the survey well before the end of the semester.One other limitation of the study is that it is very possible that those who responded to the surveysare different from those who did not respond. For example, for the instructor survey, it may bethat only those instructors who viewed the workshops as helpful actually responded. Those whodid not respond may have been more likely to find that the workshops were not helpful

As aresult, the oppressed may find out who they really are, how oppressors use and abuse theoppressed and, arguably, how to begin imagining and planning alternatives to oppression.Even though the oppressed may “understand” and “discover” that they are oppressed, they can’tnecessarily reflect on a current state of oppression due to systematic undermining of their corevalues. That is, it takes persistent effort to believe oneself worthy of dignity and a share of socialinfluence when systems of oppression convince the oppressed to believe the contrary, that theydo not matter or deserve regard.45Moreover, the oppressed

The multi-weekexperiments would be spaced with one week in between to give time for written and oralpresentations of findings.Clearly the format of the measurements lab has been instrumental in the revision plan for thesystems lab. The two-week experiences of the measurements lab have demonstrated theadvantages of giving students more time on a topic, and stripping away some of the extraneouscognitive load that comes with starting new topics each week.

Alternatively, if over time the IDP appeals to enoughof the professors within the department, then perhaps the inclusion of the IDP will occur naturally.Moreover, it is recommended to establish an elevated level of communication amongst the instructors forall integrated courses to optimize the execution of the IDP, minimizing the conflicts and maximizing thevalue to the students.

This accessible approach helps students to investin their work, which as we argue here, leads to feelings of ownership and belonging. Theimportance of students having agency in designing their own projects was particularly evident inthe final modules. In future work, we plan to investigate ways to provide students with moreagentive opportunities in the Swarmathon.

This introduces a thought that;apart from students’ understanding, inspection may also rely more on the way requirementsdocuments are written that leads to fixations and quick fault detection. Hence, educators can usethe relationship between eye movement and LSs vs inspection performance to improve theirtraining by teaching students to follow inspection process and focus more at areas where faultsusually manifest (i.e. ROI’s) in requirements document. This reduces the effort spent and lead todetection of high number of faults with higher pace. We plan to evaluate this aspect in futurestudies in hope of training students better in software inspections.7. Conclusion and Future WorkBased on the

At a higher level theywould follow voltages/signals through the circuit with a multimeter or oscilloscope. Each of thefour oscillator circuits needed for pitch and volume heterodyning should produce a highfrequency output and many Theremin designs specify the typical frequency and voltage of thissignal. An oscilloscope was used to visualize the high frequency heterodyning process thatcreated the oscillation in the audible range. The voltage regulator could be checked for thecorrect DC voltage output. The students also planned the Theremin enclosure and the
