ahierarchy used for the classification of learning tasks (see Table 1). At the lowest level of thehierarchy is ”remembering”, i.e., where only memorizing facts is required, while at the highestlevel is ”creating”, i.e., where a great deal of critical thinking is necessary. In addition, actionverbs depicting the learning tasks can be grouped under a specific level in the hierarchy (seeTable 1). When expressing the learning outcomes for an entire course (e.g., in the courseoutline), for a course module, for homework or laboratory assignments, or for lesson planning ingeneral, it is recommended to use such action verbs. If possible and/or applicable the alignedcourse components (i.e., the learning outcomes, the learning and teaching exercises in

grading implementations: laboratory and research courses The specifications grading approach was implemented in two semesters of a largeundergraduate research course and a co-instructed chemical engineering senior laboratory courseat the University of Connecticut both had a variety of individual and group assessments. Thegrading scheme was explained to the students on the first day of both courses along with a duedate matrix for assessments. The student evaluations of teaching after the first semester indicatedmixed feelings regarding the grading scheme. Based on this feedback, the instructors made themotivation for using specifications grading more transparent and provided handouts withchecklists to the students during the second semester

associate for OSU’s fundamentals of engineering honors program - a first year, introductory course required for all honors engineering students. She also spent two semesters working as a teaching assistant for the Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering Department’s thermodynamics class. She worked in a chemical engineering laboratory for four semesters studying separation of human red blood cells from whole blood. After that, she spent four semesters studying engineering education, resulting in four publications. She also volunteers at a free clinic called Physicians Care Connections, the Dublin Food Pantry, and Sandlot Children’s Sports Camp. This fall she will begin her masters in Biomedical Engineering at
