Histograms and the adjusted normal probability plots demonstrate that both cohortswere very successful in securing high grades. One student from each group did not turn in theassignment and therefore received zero.Table 5 summarizes evaluation results both the course and instructor received at the end of the Fall2017 and Fall 2016. In total, 23 students responded to the questions and filled out the online surveyout of 25 registered students in Fall 2017. On the other hand, 20 out of 27 students responded tothe questions at the end of Fall 2016 in which the IMSG was not offered as an activity to thestudents. The results indicate that the overall

It seemed like the tests were designed to trick not test.” • “The course seems to be more of a survey of many concepts and ideas as opposed to a set of connected concepts that build on one another. This is okay, but I feel like some of the lectures could be reorganized for more flow.” • “I liked that Learning Suite (the online schedule and grading system) was very organized, and the course structure was the same all semester, but I didn’t learn much…It would be more appropriate as a 400 level course to be less broad and delve more deeply into

Ella’s challenges with executive functioning combined with her high anxiety and former reliance on a regular planning with instructors may not coincide well with a course that is individualistic and self-paced. Such a course may not typically have a syllabus with clearly defined deadlines. Also, because instructors and faculty members are responding in real time to student work, being able to anticipate or plan for long-term learning objectives becomes very

Few of them have explored short and long-termeffects on professional competencies and career goals [14]. Some of them have used classroomassessment techniques and academic records to understand students’ conceptions ofentrepreneurial learning [15], [16], but more efforts are needed to explore how students learn aboutentrepreneurship as they develop ownership of their ideas [17].

A typical grading scheme mighthave Homeworks at 20%, Quizzes at 10%, Midterms at 30%, and the Final Exam at 40%. InGermany this does not exist, since it’s entirely the final exam which determines the grade.Sometimes the German professors let the students do homework or have tests to make thestudents reflect on the content and work on problems, but these assignments don’t influence thefinal
