This is because of the various benefits of mass timber, such asstructural stability, fire performance, ease of construction, low carbon footprint, and biophilicaesthetic. One identified obstacle in the gradual adoption of mass timber construction is thelimited availability of qualified engineers

graduate. The graduate studentsare required to complete several additional assignments individually. For all students, the courseintroduces basic coastal engineering topics, including wave mechanics, nearshore hydrodynamics,large-scale hydrodynamics, sediment transport, shoreline change, wave forces, and coastalstructures. The course also includes a multi-week team project focused on developing a shorelineprotection plan. Changes to the course aimed at increasing teamwork elements were implemented in Spring2022. In this semester, student enrollment was 36, and the instructor was joined by a co-instructorparticipating in a teaching certificate program who assisted with the course modifications. Thepurpose of the changes was two-fold: first

of numerical grades. Total point system, total points for each assignment add to a fixed number of points (e.g., 2000), with each assignment and assessment having a defined number of points. Open point system allocates a specific number of points for each assignment. The number of points a student achieves throughout the course is then divided by the total number of points possible to get a percentage score. Multiple grading approaches for course (e.g. student chooses weights, different weight scheme (over / under emphasizing final for example) and giving higher result, or individualized grading plans. Other (please describe briefly)What is the percentage of the grade allocated to different required course

indicates “agree.” In addition to the quantitative student perceptions, students could also provide open-ended comments about their perceptions of KS on the end of course surveys. While about 7% ofthe comments indicated that KS did not help students, comments were overwhelmingly positive.Themes emerged about how they helped students learn, reinforced learning objectives, and aidedin self-assessment. One sample response, from a student just above the mean GPA, highlightsseveral of these themes: "I actually enjoyed this as an aspect of the class as it added almost like a mini study guide for me to work through and remember what the particular survey covered. This allowed me to formulate a study plan to ensure any questions I
