Established instructional methods based on inductive-learning guided the prediction activities used in this study5,9.This experimental design is an extension of the preliminary work, and is considered quasi-experimental (students were not randomly assigned to different sections). It includes traditionalinstruction (X1), in-class prediction activities (X2), and written reflection activities (X3), acrossvarious cohorts, as shown in Table 1.

Alternatively, digitalclassroom technologies provide more data to students and instructors than any previous period inhigher education. From downloads of documents, page views in a course management system, orclicker responses in class, the ubiquitous term “big data” applies in most modern higher educationclassrooms.Interactivity is central to collecting large data sets.

Overall, the 3-D approach integrates hands-on experiences with lecture learning,laboratory courses and in-class demonstrations/projects to give students the knowledge andexperience necessary to be strong problem solvers with a grasp on curiosity and the importance oflife-long learning.1-4At Northeastern, the two semesters

Only the oral (or video) presentation rubric is currently used by multiplepeople to evaluate the same group submission.Rubrics are used in general to clarify expectations for students, and to help identify specificallywhere students can improve in their work. There are two core elements of a rubric: criteria andstandards [1]. The criteria are the features or characteristics that are evaluated, and the standardsare identifiable levels of quality. Stevens and Levi [2] provide considerable detail in rubricconstruction. Most of their examples result in rubrics with four to six criteria, usually scoredacross three

The first course in the module, Core ChE Concepts: I, was offered for thefirst time in the Fall 2018 semester. A concerted effort was made to evaluate students’experiences in the course using both direct assessment (i.e. student academic performance) usingproblem-by-problem scoring metrics and indirect assessment (e.g. task value, engagement, self-efficacy) through validated pedagogical inventories emerging from relevant theoreticalframeworks. Indirect assessments were collected at the beginning, middle and end of the course,while direct assessments were made continuously.This work presents the results of these direct and indirect assessments as well as

.Changes in industry trends are the primary cause for the addition of different areas in the ChemEcurriculum such as the need for large-scale production of commodities chemicals, productdevelopment, pharmaceuticals, and bioengineering [1]. However, there are many hurdles tocompletely invigorate the ChemE curriculum. Some examples may include accreditation, coursecredit limits, maintaining consistency with the rest of the universities, among others. Manyengineering disciplines have addressed these challenges by adding non-traditional learningexperiences such as research experiences, cooperative learning, project-based learning, servicelearning, and experiential learning [2].Conventional wisdom advocates that engineering student’s involvement in

I suggest the following two questions: (1) “Whatdoes the instructor do that helps you to learn?” and (2) “What in the course is getting in the wayof your learning?” Framing it around learning rather than what students like might yield morespecific and actionable feedback. I would avoid asking them “How can I teach better?” Someinstructors also use the same questions that will appear on the end-of-term evaluations so thatthey know what students are thinking about those issues. Be sure to follow up with studentsabout a few (you can pick which!) of the things that you learned and how you plan to address thefeedback.

challenge and is common to nearly all Unit OperationsLaboratory courses – in a recent survey, 69 out of 70 programs reported that their Unit Opsstudents work in teams [1]. This means that Unit Ops courses must have a strategy for placingstudents into teams, which by itself is a difficult problem and an active area of research.Instructors have several options for assigning teams. One is team self-selection (allowing studentsto choose their own groups), which requires minimal effort on the part of the instructor. However,there are several drawbacks associated with self-selection, including bad student experiences,team homogeneity, clique behavior, and negative effects on students’ perception of many aspectsof the course.
