In this example, the instructorkeeps the weekly homework assignments as "concept checks” but then develops projects forstudents assessing the higher-order learning outcomes.In the fourth unit, "Learning Activities,” instructors discuss and explore learning activities thatfoster more student-centered learning environments. While the previous unit might be achallenge for some STEM instructors, this unit is the most challenging for all STEM instructors.Instructors struggle with activities that are authentic for student learning within engineering andSTEM courses.
