Building upon the literature on student motivation, we seek to answer the following question: how do internships influence student attitudes towards their studies and their future approaches towards learning? Data at three critical points in a student

homework, with quickfeedback. A final hurdle was that this was the author’s first time teaching Vibrations. Therefore,it was necessary to prioritize lesson plan preparation over delivery logistics. This precluded timeintensive efforts such as learning complicated software or prerecording lectures in an instructionallab environment.Mastery learning (or learner-centric) techniques introduced by Bloom in the 1970s and expandedby researchers over the last half century have an established track record for enhancing studentlearning.1–3 In particular, periodic formative assignments are necessary and should be designed sothat students reflect on mistakes and adjust their learning efforts as needed. Within the Vibrationscourse, the mechanisms for formative

Paper ID #30213Curri: A Curriculum Visualization System that Unifies CurricularDependencies with Temporal Student DataDr. Stephen Michael MacNeil, University of California San Diego Stephen’s research focuses on how people collaboratively make sense of complex, ’wicked’ problems. Wicked problems are dynamic and constantly changing. They involve multiple stakeholders, often with conflicting requirements. To address these challenges, Stephen develops sociotechnical systems that col- lect, organize, and use data to support reflection and collective action. He received his Ph.D. at UNC in Charlotte and is currently a

It can be shown visually as an individual (I) being able to establish a quick andconvenient connection with a network hardware device. The Network News Transfer Protocol(NNTP) uses port 119. It would seem like a problematic port number to memorize; however, ifone imagines looking at this number reflected in the mirror, it would be “911” -- which forreasons yet unclear to the author -- is what most news these days is. An open newspaper showsthe 119 port number with images and text regarding the news of the day. Email is an extensiveglobe-spanning system which can be shown by a

To prepare for machine learning content students watch bots videos 14 and they arealso assigned some ethics reflection prompts in response to Cathy O’Neil’s TED Talk 35 .The common thread across topics is the problem-solving heuristics shown in Figure 1. Weintroduce these early on and revisit them with each topic and explicitly point out when we areusing a strategy, or trying several of them, to solve a problem. For example we point out the useof concrete examples for solving encoding problems, developing algorithms, and initially usinghard-coded values in incremental web development. Another example is how students areexposed to

At the end of Part 1, teams had tosubmit a word document providing the answers to each of the clues, along with specificstrategies and steps they took to reach the answers. The teams also had to submit a worddocument at the conclusion of Part 2, including selfies in front of the target building and uniqueclue, alongside written descriptions of their physical observations and details about the uniqueclue. Final reports and presentations included consolidated versions of the mini-reports above, aswell as reflections about team challenges

institution, which may affect how well thesefindings can be generalized [12].When exploring which factors from high school are most predictive of college graduation,between standardized test scores (SAT and ACT) and students’ high school GPA, GPA isconsistently considered the winner, in terms of which variable has the greatest impact [13–15].The hypothesized rationale for this observation is that although standardized tests considerintellectual abilities in certain domains, the overall GPA considers different intrapersonal qualitiesas well that were useful for positive outcomes in college [15]. More specifically, although gradescertainly do reflect skill levels on specific content, it may also include individual factors such asstudents’ attitudes

Cache simulation tools provide support for diverse configurations ofthe system and help to capture the real world scenarios to ensure that the system performs at anoptimal level.We surveyed cache simulation studies to better understand the needs for cache simulation. Then,we designed numerous scenarios using different cache configuration and sizes to reflect thescalability. Keeping the focus on achieving maximum performance, cache associativity is alsoobserved and extensively studied to verify the gains in performance were made possible. Varioustypes of cache associativity were examined and their benefits and limitations are summarized. Wealso studies that the relationship between cache associativity and cache coherency. One

subsequent sections detail the technology and design choices for this platform.4. Target MetricsTraditional IT organizations are currently siloed around aspects of service delivery: network and transport,data center, applications, security, etc [8]. This segmentation was driven by increasingly complextechnologies in each of these service delivery domains. While in smaller organizations these siloed arereflected in domains of expertise mastered by members of the staff, in medium and large organizations,5IT organizational charts identify specific teams for each of the domains mentioned. This segmentation isnaturally reflected in the skills developed by respective teams, the operating processes they develop, andthe tools used to manage the scope of the
