problem-solving mission of the class, it was important for us to emphasize thatthe procedural component of a measurement project serves the user’s thinking process, but is notthe learning goal of the project. This approach was developed intuitively, but we found that italigns nicely with the refinements offered by recent research on teaching and learning in thesciences.All lab instructors are aware of the impact Graduate Teaching Assistants can have on students’motivation and learning, and Velasco’s argument for training the teaching staff to engage withstudents reinforces our approach to the important role TAs play [4] in student learning.Specifically, lab staff, usually TAs, is best positioned to interact with students at critical projectpoints

desirable, especially where instructors model a correction andrequest that students themselves make the remaining corrections.In addition to asking students to revise based on instructor feedback, engaging in peer review canbe beneficial, especially for the peer-reviewer [6]. Likewise, written and oral feedback from apeer learning facilitator or graduate teaching assistant can help students learn [3], even withdifficult writing tasks such as argumentation and synthesis [23].In the current study, we consider different variants of feedback-and-revision, as implemented bythree different engineering faculty in laboratory courses.MethodologyStudy design & research questionsIn this study, we developed and evaluated the impact of a collaborative

Across these evaluations, she has used a variety of evaluation methods, ranging from a multi-level evaluation plan de- signed to assess program impact to methods such as program monitoring designed to facilitate program improvement. She received her Ph.D. in Research, Measurement and Statistics from the Department of Education Policy at Georgia State University (GSU). c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Development of a Portable, Experimental Platform to Demonstrate the Role of Material and Cross-Section in Beam

University’s Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation, where he consults with faculty, graduate students, and post-docs to design, implement, and assess research projects that relate to teaching and learning in their classrooms. He also contributes to a variety of program-level assessment projects on the CMU campus. Mike’s training includes an M.A. and Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of New Hampshire, as well as an M.Ed. in sport and performance psychology from Springfield College. His interests include the science of learning, research methodology, and data analysis. Prior to joining the Eberly Center in 2017, Mike worked as the Teaching and Learning Research Coordinator at the Center

The best practices include tutoring support and automated feedback,peer evaluations, self-evaluations, and assessment standards, and a web-based writing supportsystem. Having said that, studies
