students to not ask questions that are covered on the syllabus?PurposeA syllabus has multiple functions that should be considered while creating the document. (1) Plan the course (for example, lay out the schedule and the assessments) (2) Communicate the objectives of the course (for elective courses, help students decide whether they truly want to take the course or not) (3) Serve as a “contract” or at least a “reference guide” for course policies (how to contact the instructor/s, coursework policies, etc)ContentAt a minimum, your syllabus should include the following information. Beneath each “main item”on this list are questions to consider as you decide what to include and how.• Course number, title, semester, section(s

in real time during the lab sessions, itbecame clear to me that in most cases the major deficiencies resided in post-lab work and in theirability to submit a coherent, well written final report. Trying to dissect the source and location ofthe deficiencies, I decided to keep track of the performance of the various lab classes with themetric of these parameters. The hope was to be able to characterize with some quantitativemeasures (a) the progress of the class, if any, within the same semester/lab and (b) the progressof the class along the sequence of the four lab courses described above.Accordingly, while all the reports were graded following the syllabus description, I also kept arecord for myself with the marks assigned in each one of the

The same faculty member taught both courses, and inMECH 310, the course used a traditional, single turn-in homework method. Homework washanded out and a hard copy was collected and graded by the professor. The following semesterin MECH 311, the same group of students used the dual-submission, innovative homeworkmethod. For the dual-submission, the students scanned in or took a picture of the completedhomework. For the first attempt, it is only submitted online.

evolved since 2009 and this paper will discuss anew approach to using UGTAs throughout a large scale, multi-disciplinary, multiple campusengineering program. This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. While many programs utilize UGTAs inengineering or other curriculums, few have done so at an entire college scale spanning both on-campus and online courses or focused on the growth and mentorship of the UGTAs themselves.The goal of the Fulton UGTA program is to provide UGTAs with the motivation to create newvalue in the classroom that wouldn’t otherwise be available and promote the

Data has been collected on students’ performance onhomework, quizzes and exams, and also on the students’ thoughts on learning and coursedelivery. Thus far, we have concluded that the use of traditional hand-written homework,frequent assessment via quizzes [1], or the Pearson Mastering Engineering [2] software forformative assessment did not have a significant impact on students’ performance on exams. Itwas also observed that neither traditional nor online homework scores correlated well with examscores; however, in-class quizzes did correlate with final exam scores.
