UNICAMP or in some cases an industrial, non-governmental organization (NGO) or governmental partner will provide field laboratory space.3.1.3 Preparation for Study in BrazilExposure to international sustainability issues is an integral part of the proposed IGERTeducation program. In order for the IGERT Fellows to more effectively study, research and livein Brazil for an extended period of time, they will take three semesters of Brazilian Portugueseand a one semester IGERT seminar. The first two semesters of Portuguese will be existing five-credit courses that introduce the students to the practical vocabulary and grammar

However, the student success rate (final grade of A, B or C) was 70% in theMyMathLab group and 49% in the traditional homework group. In another study, introductoryphysics students completed homework using either the Web or paper.12 Performances on regularexams, conceptual exams, quizzes, laboratory, and homework showed no significant differencesbetween the two groups.

Thenot applicable ratings were averaged into the scores as a zero. Students do vary their ratingssomewhat, although self-assessments of learning are of questionable value. The goal is for thestudent feedback to be used as a logic check on faculty claims in order to indicate potentialdisconnects. These areas will then be targeted for specific review of student work and/ordiscussions with the faculty on whether the learning objectives were being achieved. Becausecourse learning outcomes may vary when different instructors teach courses, reliableexpectations for the
