Likewise,the faculty regularly use paper-and-pencil exams during class time but only oneperson uses electronically-submitted exams administered during class time.Generally, our faculty do not currently use take-home exams, either paper-and-pencil or with electronic submission. The faculty are split on the extent to whichthey use laboratory activities and associated reports to assess student learning ingraduate courses. On the other hand, projects, which are completed outside ofclasstime and may involve group work, are often used in our graduate curriculum.Similarly, graduate student learning is

Students werepersonally motivated to participate in the study.ConclusionStudent participation in a clinical research project is a very effective teaching tool; it providesgood training and motivation. Training effectiveness was reflected in the exit quiz results, joboffers to students, and student conduct. Student motivation was very high, and is reflected in theexit survey where 100% of the subjects reported that the project increased their interest andpersonal confidence in the clinical trial process. Motivation was further demonstrated by the lowattrition rate and in the increased activity levels of all groups. Page

This is not aproblem and typically necessary due to the need to review teaching evaluations which are notreturned to the faculty until early the following semester. The first time, the development ofFCARs also generated much confusion for the faculty, as does any new process. Severalrepetitions of this process were required after each semester (fall and spring) to develop thedesired result and the faculty all agreed that the process truly made them consider what they wereteaching, what they wanted the students to learn and whether the student were actually learningthe material sufficiently

Accordingto a recent review by McDaniel and Wooldridge9, “Constructivist teaching methods … differfrom traditional education in that students are expected to take responsibility for their ownlearning in order to actively create knowledge structures.” The sequence of CLs requiredstudents to build explicit models of instrumentation, control systems, sensation, bioelectricity,and biomechanics within a repeated Simulink environment, with explicit callbacks to previouslabs. The students therefore found, and reported upon, connections in the mathematical modelsacross topically different material. The laboratory environment encouraged
