identify what the studentsshould be able to do and know at the end of the course or class. These learning outcomes arestated in the course syllabus and are reviewed by the students at the beginning of the course.However, normally the students do not review them frequently during the semester.In 2022, a detailed list of learning outcomes was defined for the Introduction to Cyber Securitycourse for Majors. This list includes a granular set of outcomes that students should achieve aftereach class of the semester. Using the Learning Management System (LMS), these outcomes areincluded in each week’s module and are also reviewed at the beginning of each class. In thisway, students are constantly in contact with this information.This paper presents the

Thestudy found that labor based grading was an effective way to reduce student anxiety, reduce academicintegrity issues, and improve student motivation.IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic resulted in rapid changes to many aspects of higher education in STEMincluding the delivery of material, assessment of work, and all communication moving online. Thesechanges upset the status quo and exposed problem areas in our traditional approaches to teaching and ledus to explore a method known as labor-based grading. Labor-based grading is a methodology wherestudent grading is focused on the

Rutherford, University of DelawareAustin Cory Bart ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Work-in-progress: Exploring the computer science curriculum from undergraduate students’ perspectives Abstract—With large attrition rates among computer science (CS) majors, it is clearthat CS undergraduates face challenges completing their degrees. Although much researchhas tested various teaching strategies and how course outcomes are associated with drop-out rate, little attention has been paid to using a bottom-up, student-centered, qualitativeapproach with a large sample to understand how to improve required CS courses andcurricula. In the present study, we investigated CS college students
