student organization at my university, Drexel University in Philadelphia,sponsored a movie night. The movie was The Island, a 2005 film about a group of individualswho are maintained on an island as living spare body parts for the original individuals fromwhom they were derived. The film centers around selected individuals on the island whodiscover their actual purpose and identities and the conflicts this raises between the world of theisland and the world outside. I (DLM) was asked to lead a discussion on the film and, sensing theopportunity for a broad consideration of ethical and moral issues, asked the mixed graduate andundergraduate audience the following question: Who has encountered an ethical issue of anykind either at work or on campus

Confirmation bias: Some survey questions used language that may have contributed to a confirmation bias — a commonly acknowledged issue with Likert surveys. 3. Retrospective study: The research presented is retrospective, hence, there was no prospective course design to act as a control experiment. The number of students in the class (n = 30) is low to draw any strong statistical conclusions. 4.

We view the social practice of evaluating anengineering design and generating feedback as a complex activity system where learners’ actionsare influenced by existing tools (e.g., a feedback worksheet), norms (e.g., classroom rules), andcommunity history (e.g., friend relationships among a group of children). To provideconstructive and effective feedback, learners need to find a balance between these potentiallycompeting activity system elements. For example, the social dynamics between the

It builds on existing research to show that students who participate in these activitiesfeel greater satisfaction and are more invested and involved in their chosen major. This suggeststhat "capitalization" acts as a key driver in connecting students to their field of study andpreparing them for future careers. Interestingly, the study also found that informal peermentoring can lead to increased participation in "capitalization" activities and improvedprofessional identity outcomes.Micari, et al., 2005 posit that undergraduates in the sciences often experience a disconnect fromtheir instructors, in that they perceive their teachers as preferring a top-down relationship asopposed to
