In this case, we provided a lecture content and recommendations aheadof the project to familiarize students with typical features of grant proposals, with particularemphasis on establishing the need, using key evidence from their lab work to support theirproposal, and building a cohesive credible argument for their proposed idea across all sections

It is known that aspects of student identity have significanteffects on academic performance [11], but their absence from constructive alignment means thateducators have not been provided guidance on how to implement constructive alignment in away that equitably benefits all students and ensures inclusion of a diverse range of studentbackgrounds.Biggs [1] mentioned that teaching and learning activities do not need to be the sole domain oftraditional instructor-led lectures; peer groups and independent learning are also viable avenuesof activities in a constructively aligned course. However, both forms of learning carry their

options for making the same product. As shown in Table 4,about half of the students chose to work alone and half in groups. This was true for both the firstand second project. In 2024 working in a group was widely preferred and in 2022 working alonewas widely preferred. Most students stayed with the same modality of working alone or with thesame peers on both the first and second project, and only a few groups split up after the firstproject (1 or 2 per term) and few new ones formed. Groups of 2 or 3 students were mostcommon, and 4 was very rare.Table 4. Number of students each semester who chose to work alone or in a group Year Project 1 Project 2 N work alone N work
