the community(Cambridge, Kaplan, & Suter, 2005; Pimmel, McKenna, Fortenberry, Yoder, & Chavela Guerra,2013). Although many communities of practice occur in person, there exists a history within theengineering education field of virtual communities of practice. For example, ASEE was involvedin a virtual community-of-practice project that was designed to help support faculty members inthe implementation of active learning principles within their classes (Pimmel et al., 2013).Through this project, two types of virtual communities of practice were developed: (1) thosefocused on a particular course content and (2) those that were disciplinary in nature. Resultsobtained from these communities seemed to vary and were dependent on the level

In addition, we perform duties as the Academic Officer in Charge (AOC) wherewe inspect cadet living and study conditions from 1930-2330 at least once a semester. Thisallows us to gauge how well cadets are able to study at night, and it allows us to visit ourstudents in their rooms and see how they are doing at a very personal level.

Present at least some of the lecture as you walk around the room. Whilespeaking, try to project relaxed confidence, enthusiasm and passion for the topic, honesty, concernfor the students, openness, warmth, and a sense of humor. Try to minimize distractive behaviorssuch as leaning against a wall or a board, repeating ”you know what” or ”uhm”, and repetitivemovements [2].Include breaks in lectures. Do not lecture for more than 20 minutes without some sort of astudent-centered break. Students cannot pay attention

Theprojects included a presentation as well as a written report. In order to assess thepresentations and the projects, the CI developed (with input and approval of the studentsand the FM) an assessment form that was to be used by the CI, the FM and the students.Students were given a deadline (two days after the presentation date) to make somechanges to their report to address the questions raised by their fellow-students and theinstructors.CI

We calculated our first timeinter-rater reliability, which indicated fair to good initial agreement, with Cohen’s κ = 0.69(Norusis, 2005).Our coding scheme in Table 2 was developed using a grounded, emergent qualitative analysis ofthe students’ responses (Neuendorf, 2002).

significant communityoutreach, the benefits of community service may also be smaller or at least less tangible to thefaculty member. The primary benefit to the faculty member of most profession-relatedcommunity service is increased visibility of the individual, program, and university. One neverknows where such increased visibility may lead, and so what might seem as a relatively minoractivity on the part of the faculty member may reap large rewards in the future. For example,someone who gives a talk on engineering at a local high school may inspire a student to studyengineering at their university and that student may want to work on a research project in thefuture with the faculty member who gave the talk.

groundsdoes the accumulation of some threshold number of points constitute mastery of the topic athand? Is such a numerical marker valuable to a learner in reflecting on their progress andaccumulated knowledge? The broad answer to such questions is that points are largely arbitrary,varying wildly in meaning across institutions, courses, or even across assignments.Trends in pedagogy have shifted strongly in the direction of more experiential, authentic learningactivities such as project-based and active learning. As the nature of the classroom activity haschanged, important questions have been raised about the efficacy of traditional grading schemes.Separation has been observed between course objectives and assessment practices, and theability of the

Prior research highlights the role of educators in designing active learningclassrooms [1], promoting a reflective culture [2], [3], and using project-based curriculum [4] tosupport student learning. We ask, what are smaller, more attentive opportunities for students todesign their own active learning experience within classroom settings? We take a provocativeapproach to supporting engineering student learning through visual notetaking.Visual notetaking is a method of representing ideas without always relying solely on words.Notetaking offers a large design space and opens up opportunities for metacognitiveconversations about student learning.

The author suggests thatalthough faculty members see many variables dealing with student behavior as unalterable, mostare probably not. Common behaviors that are accepted include: coming to class unprepared, notdoing the reading, not engaging in classroom discussion, not answering questions, turning insloppy work, and turning in late assignments, to name but a few. The author does not accept thepremise that such behaviors are unalterable. In the case of the specific research project theauthor conducted, the problem observed was that students seemed to regard their homeworksubmissions as simply a product to be handed in, and

we are nowconcerned about the faculty’s currency in the discipline. So, researchers have to teach andteachers have to research – but we already knew that. There must be something else to thismodel idea.Before discussing the model further it is important to set the maximum and minimum parameterson the two functions of interest – teaching and scholarship. There is a difference betweenresearch and scholarship as research actually begets scholarship. Unfortunately, we haveclassified institutions of higher education by teaching and research, where scholarship is thedeliverable of a research project. Similarly, we have divided the primary parameter, teaching,along the same lines. It is not unusual for a faculty member at a “teaching” college to

Students like the usage ofrubrics as they aid in determining the expectations for an assignment. Students also likerubrics for grading as they allow them to better plan their working, gearing theirdevelopment towards what is expected rather than overachieving on an assignment. Page 14.1338.2Overall, students feel that rubrics result in them delivering a higher quality submission aswell as receiving a fairer grade when the submission is assessed. Students like rubricsbecause
