This is a time-consuming activity; to create time to do this, we have reduced the numberof required tasks in each lab, allowing us and the students to concentrate on a few, criticalconcepts. In this way, we are able to verify assure that students understand what they have doneand they can correct errors before they leave lab.Our third problem-solving activity for the students involves the validation of their results byquantifying uncertainty and identifying discrepancies between predictions and measured results.While it is not unusual for lab instructors to require that uncertainty be quantified, we askstudents to take the extra step of discussing uncertainty in depth

Foregrounded by these prior studies and the implications described here, it may not beespecially surprising that some study participants did not respond strongly to the idea that therewas any type of negative treatment based upon their race or gender identity. At the same time,the lack of attention to identity based on race may have allowed these alumni to see faculty in amore positive manner.Notwithstanding

Others have used Likert-type scales in the context of design assessment; afew examples include a decision-making tool for prototyping9, self-efficacy surveys in a designcourse10, and learning outcomes surveys for pre-capstone teams11.Despite the ubiquity of Likert-type scales within the design literature, there are a number of keychallenges that researchers have experienced while using them. Studies have found that peopleanswering questions using Likert scales may preferentially choose options on the ends of the scaleinstead of choosing less extreme answers12. Other studies have shown that misuse (ormisunderstanding) of the midpoint on the Likert scale can confound results; if someone wants toavoid a question, or
