), and conducting a facilitateddiscussion with the team about constructing an action plan to deal with the perceived problem(s).This intervention was designed to provide relatively rapid feedback about team functioning, andto help team members understand more fully how individuals can influence the behaviors of theirteammates. However, over a three-semester assessment of this intervention, the conclusion wasthat the teams receiving this brief facilitated reflection-planning intervention did not functionmore effectively overall than those who did not receive this intervention.17 Page 12.266.5 We were (and are still) interested in improving
even share based on the team size. For each major assignment a correspondingnumber of points was associated with the peer review. Each team member could receive more orless than this point value based on the results of the review. For example, on a team with four students each member should contribute 25% of theworkload. If one team member only contributes 20% of the workload, then that student wouldreceive 80% of the peer review points associated with the assignment. Since this method is azero-sum proposition, other team member(s) on this team would receive more than the allottedpoints because they would have contributed more than their theoretical share of the work. Thiswas a way to provide limited extra credit to those team members who

representative of the broader engineering faculty population. Future research shouldalso survey faculty directly to find out the extent to which left-of-center grading is deliberatelyemployed since most of our knowledge of the practice is filtered through student perceptions.We also need research that can better understand the motivations of faculty who use the practice.Understanding these motivations can help researchers come up with viable alternatives to left-of-center grading.5.

creation of a symbolic/mathematical (S)model for further analysis. Learning to solve problems in this particular way is a major goal forengineering education. The research presented in this paper focuses specifically on the text todiagram translation and the particularized representations utilized within a course onconservation principles. Previous research on student-generated diagrams revealed that, at thebeginning of the course, students are not able to construct useful diagrams that follow theconservation laws. This result led to the general question of whether students can recognizeuseful, correct diagrams; more specifically: 1) Given a set of diagrams, are students able todistinguish between effective and ineffective diagrams? and 2) How do

MT’s smallsize, some departments only offer courses once a year; if a student falls out of sequence for anyreason, s/he must wait an entire year to make up lost credits.At MT, as at Coleman, fundamental courses were often seen by students as something to getthrough before they could begin to engage in their “real work” as engineering students. The tworequired semesters of physics, an ethics and technical writing class, and an earth science classwere widely described as something to be survived before students could get to the Holy Grail:courses in their majors. Nevertheless, as with Coleman, required courses also introducedstudents to non-engineering majors and faculty. This was particularly the case among studentswho had been considering a
