Namely, students may take research credits which are graded S/U. If they takethese credits as Independent Study, then they are graded A-F. Also, Senior Seminar is graded S/Uwhile Senior Design Project is graded A-F. So, there is a mix of grading types that was agreedupon by the program faculty.Moreover, stipends to fund participating students are secured through grants.

preference due to personality type. In other words, students with ahigher level of neuroticism may have a more difficult time working on group test, this may be tired of theirnegative perception of group tests. More examination also needs to be done in order to determine exactlywhy individuals who are highly capable, have an aversion to group test. Qualitative data should be collectedto determine if the negative perception is due to the extra work perceived (due to explaining concepts) oran aversion to working in a group in general.References: 1.

One way students increased the participation of other students was by encouraging sharing, which we define as proactively putting out an open-ended call for others’ input. To be coded as an encouraging sharing move, a student’s utterance had to go beyond simply asking for affirmation or refutation of an idea they themselves had stated. For example, when working on a problem about a firefighting hose, S made an encouraging sharing move when they put out a call for a peer’s idea: S: Yeah. What do you think Abe?
