Analyzing students' value orientationsand interpersonal relationships, the authors present statistical evidence of academicprocrastination levels and their dependence on motivational conflicts.

Students embarkingon a peer-reviewed assignment should be told this, as a way to increase their buy-in to theprocess.7. ConclusionIn-class peer review can be a rewarding experience, but to realize its promise, it requirescareful planning and instruction. First, the instructor should create a detailed rubric,possibly with suggestions from students. Students should be shown what a good reviewlooks like. They should understand the benefit of providing specific, actionablesuggestions to the authors. They should endeavor to put themselves in the authors’ shoes,and think carefully about the effect that their feedback will have on the

Accordingly, textbooks guideinstructional planning and classroom activities “by making content available, organizing it, andsetting out learning tasks in a form designed to be appealing to students.” 1 Whether or not to usea textbook in a college level class is a decision that may or not fall to the individual instructor.Some courses, particularly those that are required of all undergraduates in a major, often use a“standard” text selected by the department. Other courses may allow for more flexibility and aprofessor can decide whether or not to require a textbook as well as select the textbook.Researchers have advocated a variety of approaches

and government funding dried-up. Similar arguments could be made about environmental studies 7. Although alternative energy and the environment are important topics, it is not clear that new hybrid academic programs are always the best way to address the education about such. This trend has made it necessary for faculty, chairs, and deans to be flexible and non- territorial about their disciplines, faculty, and resources, and willing to submit to whatever hybridization mandate comes from above, regardless of the wisdom, cost, or viability. Such arrangements can be “win-win” for everyone, but they can also be boondoggles if not carefully assessed and planned with long-term viability rather than short-term

wouldscale better to larger class sizes.- Plan ahead. Submission is now spread over at least two days, depending on how quickly youreturn the initial submissions to the students. Near exams, this can cause homework to be turnedin before the material is fully covered. My solution to this problem is to collect the firstsubmission in the last class period before the exam, when we are reviewing material. Sinceassignments are returned immediately, students can use their corrections and reflections to helpguide their exam preparations by noting areas in most need of study. Students then re-submittheir work on the day of the exam.- Publish your own solutions, don’t just copy those from the manual. This not only sets a goodexample, but might also help

In contrast, at an undergraduateinstitution students may start in the group with only one or two engineering courses completed,and will remain in the group for only two or three years. Other constraints at these schools arehigh teaching loads and limited research facilities. Because of these concerns, some faculty maychoose to avoid research activities while others may perform only research that requires limitedstudent involvement. However, as the primary focus at these institutions is the education ofundergraduates, the ideal research plan will provide opportunities to include studentssignificantly in the process.One way to perform research with heavy undergraduate involvement is to select an

A video lecture muststate the facts as concisely as possible in the interest of time. A good video lecture includes theinstructor’s introspection and should be enthusiastic. However, there is only so much genuineenthusiasm that can be relayed in recorded format. Without interaction, student questions, andclassroom dialogue, it is difficult to inspire the uninterested to want to learn more; particularlywhen the material is not in their chosen field of study.
