. If they did not continueor sustain their implementation of the active learning strategies, this may explain some of theobserved data in the post-participation grades. Additionally, developing successful teachingpractices takes time, and thus there could be delayed effects of implementation on studentachievement. This lag time, either in implementation of consistent active learning teachingpractices or in quality of active learning teaching in the classroom, could be an explanation forthe observed results. As such, we plan on continuing this analysis in the future to assess forpotential changes over time.As noted above, the project employed the RTOP classroom observations to provide a reliableand objective account of which faculty made

However, that being said, the overall approach is still very satisfying for academiclaboratory instruction, and the subpar performance demonstrates the challenges faced in thedesign of communication systems. Students get to see first-hand how the impairments impactquality.Beyond improvements to current methods, other modulation schemes need to be considered –plans for future work include flowgraphs for higher M-ary levels and other modulation formatsincluding ASK and QAM.

Although rigor is bound up in all aspects of a study—fromits level of cultural responsiveness to communication with internal and external stakeholdersthroughout the research process—our definition of rigor is narrower than our definition ofquality. Specifically, we understand rigor to mean that a study’s claims and implications havebeen carefully supported with data, and that alternative explanations have been considered andaddressed throughout the research design.Validity and reliability have

One idea that gained much support during the discussion was creating events that bring veterans and non- veterans together. Rather than planning a mixer, it was emphasized that these events be focused on community service because this provides an opportunity for these two populations to work together to achieve something purposeful. • Have an ASEE presence within service member transition programs (e.g., SEP/TAP).
