The newMaster Scholastics based on the Declaration of Sorbonne [5] and the European Bologna-Process[6]. The goal of the European Bologna-Process is to harmonize the European study conditionsand the universities degrees. The Master Scholastics demands a high level of autonomouslearning by the students. This demand is considered within this new concept. It is placed in abasic lecture of civil engineering in the field of steel construction and replaces the traditionalteaching setting. The traditional setting follows a sequential order. Several contentual chapterswill follow each other. Each chapter follows a usual

faculty,and typically represents 10 to 30 percent of a student’s final course grade. One of thefundamental purposes of homework is to help students master the course material,mastery ultimately assessed through quizzes, tests and a final examination. Tounderstand whether homework grades are a significant factor in determining studentperformance on tests, a study was conducted to examine the correlation betweenindividual student scores on homework, quizzes, tests and final examination. Data fromfour courses taught by three different instructors showed very weak correlation betweenhomework and quiz, test or final examination scores, respectively; much strongercorrelations were found between quiz, tests and final examinations.

the course originally developed at UC to meet student needs at UWM,including:1. Expanding the lectures to help students master the vocabulary and key concepts in MolecularBiology. Based on personal experience with current students, Dr. Li expects that more than fiftypercent of the enrolled students will be adult professionals returning to the classroom after manyyears of employment. A thorough review of Microbiology and Molecular Biology will helprefresh students’ memories because many of these students are expected to have poor recall oftheir prior formal coursework in Biology and Chemistry.2. Including a literature review and case studies. It is believed that modern technologies are bestintroduced to adult professionals through case studies

students tobecome thinking human beings. In the quest to have them succeed on a standardized test,we had lost the notion of creativity. We ‘taught’ to the test. Once I took your class,however, that changed. I've used and continue to use logic examples (Knights, Knaves,etc.) in my classes to get the students to ‘think outside the box’. I ask a lot more probing,open-ended questions, like ‘What would happen if.......’ I've also used the LegoMindstorms kit. For the gifted students, it is a wonderful way for them to work on theirown, discover, and work at their own paces....creatively. For others, it opens their mindsto different ways of doing things. I've even used it as a motivator for students who,otherwise, might not want to master my lessons. If

As a result of our efforts, industrial donors have been verygenerous to our program, and we now find ourselves actively participating in a manufacturingrevival.After working through several S3 Design Projects, the first thing we learned was that no twoprojects use the exact same legal documents. Therefore, having a master contract does noteliminate the need to negotiate the terms and conditions associated with each project. However,the existence of a set of master documents may accelerate the negotiations.The second thing we learned was that trade secrets are secrets!
