As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction.
