of this paradox may lead to important misperceptions, especially insensitive settings, which makes this phenomenon of utter importance when it comes tointerpreting results. Clearly, a misinterpretation of the results from Berkeley graduate admissionsmight have led to legal problems. A misunderstanding of recovery rates due to a specific drugmay lead to incorrect or false advertising, also leading to legal and ethical issues.It is my aim to provide in this article another example of SP that took place in an educationalsetting.

Is Flat, refers "to a twenty-first centuryworld that will be very different from the one in which we were educated. To survive in a new,globally competitive world, today's children will need creativity, problem-solving abilities, apassion for learning, a dedicated work ethic and lifelong learning opportunities. Students candevelop these abilities through instruction based on Best Practice teaching strategies." [2].Best practice in graduate instruction focuses on dependable collaborations between graduateunderstudies and workforce, underpinned by staff [3]. Best practices are not always the bestdepending on timing and locations. According to DiBella (2001), "a practice that is valued in onesetting will be valued differently in another setting

Research advocates integrating courses fromnot only the technical curriculum but also general education curriculum as well.6 Withinengineering programs, this coupling of technical and professional topics is apparent. Accordingto the results of a 2005 survey,4 over half of programs surveyed included the following topics intheir capstone design courses: written communication (87%), oral communication (83%),engineering ethics (76%), project planning and scheduling (72%), decision-making (68%),teambuilding (66%), team dynamics (63%), engineering economics (61

,motivation and work ethic outside of the classroom, interest in the subject, and a host of otherfactors.Although the notion of a comprehensive student assessment program that accounts for all possibleinstitutional and student-level factors is compelling, it is an extraordinarily difficult goal to achievein the short-run and will likely need to be modified over time. Therefore, a rational approach foreducators to understand the factors that are at play in their classrooms is to build a methodologyfor factor identification and assessment that can be updated continually. While several studiesfocused on predicting student academic performance based on different student and institutionalfactors [4] [9], the objective of this study is to document the

Thelarge private university in Colombia through its Center for Excellence in Teaching (CEDU) hasdeveloped a generic research protocol, approved by the university ethics committee, intended toguide researchers in the treatment and use of information coming from human subjects. At thesmall comprehensive university in the USA, a similar protocol exists and procedures for dealingwith human subjects and research involving them is clearly defined. At both institutions,students will be made aware about the research taking place and the treatment of the dataobtained from them

There are 8-12 exam questions drawn from Category10 (7-11% of the FE Exam). The relationship between this list of topics and IE curricular contentwill be further discussed in the next section of this paper. 1. Mathematics: 6–9 questions 2.

Abstract  This paper describes an innovative curriculum developed for a new LogisticsEngineering degree programs at the Faculty of Engineering Management of PoznańUniversity of Technology. The core of the program is based on a sequence of four majorcourses, which focus on the Product Development, Process Analysis and Optimization,Logistic Processes and Service Engineering, respectively. Each course is built around a practical team project. With the project effort as thebackground, the courses introduce students to key issues in global engineering competence,such as technical and cross-cultural communication, collaboration and teamwork,organization and management, engineering ethics, critical thinking and problem solving, andintegration

Similar definitions apply to otherdisciplines like law, arts, music, management, teacher education, or any other fields that havemade extensive use of cases for professional training.Teaching with cases often involves several challenges for the instructor. These includediagnosing technical problems and formulating solution strategies, making engineering andmanagement decisions taking into account technical, economic, and social and psychologicalconsiderations, and confronting ethical dilemmas7. The instructor needs to either have lots ofexperience or invite systems engineers in the industry to give seminars and present cases. Theinstructor can then have students

, previous three years to the implementation of the framework theaverage percentage of the students who fails the course was 12.5% while after theimplementation (2011 to 2013) was 2.3% implying a benefit of 10 percentage points. As waspreviously discussed the weight of the PBL assignments is 20% of the final grade. Thispercentage was the same previous to the 2011, the main difference was the use of the frameworkto design the goals of each PBL and the use of the rubrics. Due to the peer assessment activity,the possibility that a student pass the course rewarded by the teamwork assignment is limited butit is possible if the teammates do not complete this peer assessment ethically. Thus, the instructortakes some minutes previously to the peer

Student GPA was included in each regression model because it was presumed to be asignificant predictor of performance on graded events. We saw that GPA is significant in eachmodel and has the largest effect size in each model. GPA is a complex variable, because itcaptures the effects of student motivation, work ethic, discipline, and study habits and is at leastpartially confounded with the effects of quiz timing and quiz performance on motivation.Additionally, the interaction of quiz timing and quiz percentage was not significant in any models
