sought to identify what features if any were consistent throughout all thedocuments. The features identified in the summaries from the semesters of the interventionwere used to review the summaries from the previous year(s). Once the structural features ofthe summaries were identified, one of the second authors read the summaries looking for thesame structural elements to confirm the structural patterns. Then the board comments/scores were also collected for the semesters used to identifyany patterns of improvement. This strategy did not work out as planned due to a few anomaliesinvolved in the semesters included in the study. There was no clear evidence of improvementbetween the semesters studied. As a result, word counts of the

The University of Kansas launched its adaptation of the embedded expert model in the2013-2014 academic year, beginning in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) andexpanding in 2014-2015 into the School of Engineering. The embedded experts are postdoctoralscholars with Ph.D.’s in the discipline that are hired by a unit (department or school) for threeyears to collaborate with faculty members on the incorporation of student-centered, active andcollaborative teaching practices into four-to-five undergraduate courses.

agree.While the overall intent of this self-grading exercise was to give students another learningopportunity as they completed their homework assignment, it was observed that some studentscompleted their self-grading during the break immediately before class on the day that the gradedassignment was due; in retrospect, this defeated the purpose of the self-grading exercise. As analternative, students could be asked to qualitatively explain why a mistake was made, if oneoccurred. This tactic might be more conductive to learning; if the student is not grasping the rootcause(s) associated with errors in thinking then the effectiveness of this approach misses itsintended objective.ConclusionsA homework assignment represents one method to gauge student

Typically, the PBL approach integrates the theoretical side ofeducation with the practical aspects of a profession, and involves students in not just the solvingof the problem, but also the investigating, developing, explaining, and checking of solutions [3,4]. This pedagogical approach has long been used in medical education, and has more recentlyemerged as an important approach for the undergraduate classroom [4].

A “pervasive method” of teaching ethics to law students was described by Link[2] where every professor in every course at the Notre Dame Law School would include ethics intheir course. Each course, thereby, served a dual purpose: the teaching of law as well as theteaching of ethics. Ethics was to be spread widely - be pervasive - throughout the lawcurriculum. Refining this pervasive approach, Davis [3] described a method called “micro-insertion” where knowledge / skills can be added to a course without
