acknowledged these items, lack of detailmight also be attributed to the students’ developmental level in that they are first year students.More explicit detail and examples could be added as students mature and make their waythrough their course work. RSAP provides a lab experience for the students in relation to the topics covered duringthe class. Students were applying skills, terms, and ideas they learned during the class when theytalked about what they gained from the RSAP experience and also demonstrated growth in theseareas in the writing assignment. However, students did not make the connection back to the classtopics or the time they spent developing relationships during the class with their peers. In manycases they identified the trip

Project management skills, useof technology skills, communication skills are some of the skills that are developed throughoutthe course. The freshmen design course is a course that is done in a team and often instructorsfind it difficult to identify students who are hidden within the team with out doing any worksince often times peer assessment doesn’t work as efficiently as it should. In order to solve thismany of the topics are monitored through blackboard. As discussed earlier the courses focus onproblem solving, report writing

A caring faculty can assist in bringing students closertogether through formation of learning partnerships, peer teaching, and sharing data andinformation with one another. It has been astonishing to see how working in collaborativedissertation groups has affected students. Long after their graduation, students recall themost significant aspect of their graduate program being the interpersonal learning and thedevelopment of collaborative sensitivity and mutual understanding among groupmembers. Learning how to acknowledge differences, arrive at consensus, set limits, andadminister fair sanctions to non-cooperative members are remembered and spoken of asmore memorable than either the formal focus
