Research onways to facilitate students’ abilities to transfer that knowledge among core and major coursesopens possibilities for developing coherent writing curricula [12]. As students developunderstanding of disciplinary genres, such as lab reports and design projects, and addressdifferent audiences for those genres, they can refine their ways of thinking and expression ofdisciplinary

Often, 50% or more of a student’s gradewould be determined by the exams only. Illness, lack of sleep, or loss of study time due toexternal factors can often be detrimental to student performance. This traditional structure alsoprovides no motivating factors for a student to revisit the most critical topics after poorperformance on an exam. They will simply move on in their studies to the current topic, withoutmuch consideration that many of the concepts build on some previously established foundation.The mastery-based grading structure forces them to eventually demonstrate understanding of

For example, one studentnoted: One important attitude for professional engineers that I think might be missing is “foresighted.” In matters of design and sustainability, it is important for a civil engineer to be able to project into the future and anticipate future needs.Only three senior civil engineering students indicated personal attitudes that were important andmissing.

Given that most students perceivedthe homework as “difficult” or “challenging”, as indicated by answers to the question “How doyou think the level of this assignment compares to the level expected of the class, as specified inthe rubrics provided,” this indicates that
