In addition, students are required to draft aProblem Statement, Requirements Specification, Functional Design, Project Plan, and Test Plan.The nature of the projects varies widely from continuing a previous project with well-definedexpectations to venturing into uncharted waters with only a vague sense of a reasonabledestination. Thus all of these documents are flexible in their nature. For example, the test plancould be for the final product or for a milestone. Either way it will contain similar complexityand comprehensiveness. Assessment for this semester

The QEP initiative has two main programs: facultyworkshops and funding for projects aimed at enhancing student writing. The RGS-infused heuristic we develop here stemmed from funding from this QEPprogram, specifically for the development of a faculty learning community, which was part of alarger “Improving Disciplinary Writing” Action Project grant funded by this midsize researchinstitution’s (MRI) Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). One way disciplinary writing and genrecan be explored is through faculty learning communities, or intentional groups of (ofteninterdisciplinary) faculty seeking to

The purpose of our future research direction is to thoroughly investigate howWTLTP can help students learn to program. We focus on understanding the impact of WTLTPinstruction on students’ programming development in comparison to students educated by tradi-tional programming pedagogy. We also plan to investigate how WTLTP may impact students’development as writers. Finally, we have planned data collection that will offer insight into “bestpractices” for effectively integrating WTLTP in classrooms.

Thegoal was to promote a more inclusive use of communication that enables engineering students todraw upon their interest in engineering and their own communicative resources.The plan was to vertically integrate the two courses, APSC 176 and APSC 201, by movingintroductory modules and assignments from the second-year course to the first-year course. Thisintegration would lay a solid foundation for continuous instruction in communication throughoutthe four years of studies for the Bachelor of Applied Science degree.

convert the result of their research project to apaper and submit it to a conference for presentation and publication. One problem that Ifeel I need to mention is the travel expense for the student to the conference. To solve thisproblem, usually the students can sign up for a few hours of volunteer work at theconference and get their registration fee waved. Sometimes, the students are willing topay for a big part of the travel expenses because this trip becomes a vacation for themwhile securing a publication for their resume.In order to enrich the content of this data mining course, the plan is for two weeks ofteaching sequence mining be added to the content of this course.

By all four phases, global IPv6 adoption is rapidly increasing.Planning - Measured by looking at the number of IPv6 prefix allocations from the RIRs and howmany of these allocated prefixes show up in Internet routing tables. By measuring the number ofallocated IPv6 prefixes, it is possible to get an indicator of future IPv6 deployments.
