efforts of having students emailing spreadsheets with pre-defined templates (because ofthe live interactive nature of Google Sheets), the lack of anonymity of individuals and groupswas viewed as a significant drawback.The “Importrange” function built into Google Sheets allows defined information to be passedfrom one spreadsheet to another, allowing the sheet creator (in this case, the instructor) to specifythe workflow of information. Google Sheets also allows the “owner” to turn on and off sharingof worksheets (Figure 1). Using these two features, an instructor can create an individualworksheet for each student, where the information from each is consolidated into a singleinstructor worksheet that only that person can view (Figure 2 and 3

The aim of these models is to highlight the differencebetween Computer Science and Programming, to show the relevance of Computer Science inrecent advances in various fields, and to inspire students to appreciate Computer Science andthe role of algorithms in our daily lives. The modules will cover various topics about the role ofCS in cyber warfare, understanding biology, electronic voting, etc. In subsequent work, thesemodules will be launched as part of a mixed methods study to determine their effectiveness ascompared to a control group not learning through these models and the impact of those moduleson the retention rates of Computer Science majors.1.

finding lower-cost routers with the capability of running it can bechallenging. Cisco’s integrated services or multiservice routers are designed for branch officeapplications and some support IOS images with MPLS capability.Generally, MPLS first became available for certain 3600- and 2800- series branch routersstarting with IOS version 12.4(1). These routers are now obsolete though the 2800 is stillsupported into 2016. Presently Cisco’s branch router product line has moved to 3900-, and 2900-series. Determining an appropriate combination of platform and IOS feature set can be done bycontacting Cisco representatives or by using the online Cisco Feature Navigator8.

students do not need to study the underlying theory before class to understandthe algorithms. This methodology is aimed to explode the abilities of those with kinestheticlearning (others with a preference for other style of learning can make use of the videos,textbook, or the instructor’s lecture notes).3 It has the beneficial side effect of lettingstudents to socialize with their fellows by requiring them to get in touch and talk to eachother, and giving them the opportunity to learn their fellow’s names. It also avoids studentsto fall asleep in class, since they have to stand up and move to specific positions during thesimulations. Even though similar proposals exist in the literature,5, 6, 1, 4 some of them are nottailored to courses in data

Not only did thissave time but also, as most of our employers were not native speakers of English, focusing oninfographics and less on text reduced misunderstandings [1].After moving to academia, I found that students were unaware of the writing style that is used intoday’s high-paced industries. While many schools offer writing intensive programs [3] andsome guidance on the use of graphs and charts [4], students do not receive enough instruction onhow to develop and integrate infographics [12] within their documentation.

What are the differences in engineering students’ perceived effectiveness of an ethics course when participating in a hybrid versus a completely online format? 3.

As a result, students lack opportunities to work on multi-yearprojects and develop the skills essential for long-term planning. To remedy this situation, ourdepartment has created elective courses that allow students from all years (first-year students tograduate students) to work on research projects under the supervision of faculty members and thementorship of senior graduate students. These projects provide the opportunities for students tolearn many skills essential in workplace, such as (1) understanding how projects are designed andmanaged; (2

Data Mining for Adverse Event Detection and Action RecommendationAbstractMany real-life data mining applications use sequence data modeling, in which data isrepresented as a sequence. A temporal sequence is a finite ordered list of events (t1,e1),(t2,e2), …,(tn,en) where ti represents time and ei represents the event taking place at time ti.ei takes place before ei+1 for 1≤ i ≤ n-1. This model can be used in data mining, calledsequence data mining, to predict certain event that may take place at a specific time.Sequence data mining has a wide range of applications. This data mining technique canbe used for prediction of adverse events and can recommend appropriate actions to betaken as needed. In aviation safety, the
