Infact, Adaptive Follow-Up in the Mastering Engineering system was punitive by some of thestudents rather than as a resource to encourage mastery of the material [4]. Additionally,although Exam Wrappers did not seem to increase exam scores and performance; overall, havingstudents fill out quiz and Exam Wrappers did seem to foster reflection and adjustment in mostparticipants [5]. Most recently, Exam Wrappers appear to be useful. They encourage students tothink about their study habits, the types of errors they tend to make, and the variety of ways thatthey are or could be engaged in the course [6].The course is a four-credit course

We used theseexam scores as a measure of their academic performance, which were graded by the instructionalteam. From this data, we addressed two research questions: 1) To what degree do students’selection of study strategies vary while preparing for exams? 2) How do students’ studystrategies relate to their academic performance in exams? To answer the first question, weconducted one-way ANOVA to test the variability in the students' selection of study strategiesover the exams.

This normalization reflects the percentage ofstudents in a major that attended or were recruited. In some cases, this percentage is higher than 100%, due tothe presence of pre-major students in both attendance and recruitment numbers. Pre-major students are notconsidered students of a specific major, but often reflect a desire for a specific major. The use of majorenrollment instead of total enrollment was intentional as the scope of the work looks explicitly to understandundergraduate students in their major.

To fill these skillgap there is a need for industry driven curriculum development and this project reflected thoseissues. Driven by the program objectives, the Old Dominion University (ODU) and CCAMteam developed an approach to formulate the curriculum and courses.

Over the course of implementing the SI program in EE 306 and EE307E, we have endeavored to identify the components to emphasize that promote success whilemaintaining the authenticity of the SI model. This led us to explore the concept of explicitinstruction of metacognitive practices in SI sessions.
