Based on those differences among problems, different kinds of food engineeringproblems were developed such as decision-making, troubleshooting/diagnosis, and designproblems. For seven PSLEs' assignments an Argumentation Rubric (adapted from Jonassen2),was utilized to assess students' (n=81) argumentation skills, particularly adequacy of premises,credibility of premises, organization of arguments, quality of conclusions (claims), and writing(content/ideas). Four evaluators assessed student papers and videos. Furthermore, the mostcommon method for assessing argumentation, protocol analysis of student essays or

Students learned aboutmethods to organize their writing and overcome writing blocks. Resources for PhD graduatestudents to support their thesis writing were also shared with the group. The second workshopwas on time management for the busy student offered by the UIC Wellness Center. Finally, therewas a seminar on leadership by Dr. Jarrad Hampton-Marcell on science and being competitive inSTEM.

Question 3: Do students whose reflections on doing are assessed to be more insightful focus on different “doings” than their peers? What can we infer by text mining the data about the ways that ‘insightful’ students write their LS? We anticipate certain patterns to emerge, given our intentional effort to tie eachassignment to successive POED over the course of the design process; see Figure 1. We are alsointerested in the degree to which the evolving focus in the course design is reflected in thestudent learning. Based on our prior work, we expect both team formation, concept

] .MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS OF TURING MACHINESAlan Turing provided a mathematical definition of computation in 1936 [41]. In the same year,Emil Post independently developed algorithm machines that have come to be known as Postmachines [29]. Turing machines and Post machines are proven to be equivalent and their theorydeveloped in 1930s and 1940s has provided the foundation of the theory of computation. Turingmachines are the most popular models for recursively enumerable sets mentioned above.Following Cohen [6], we define Turing machines as follows. A Turing machine is composed of six components: 1. An alphabet, , which is a finite non-empty set of symbols from which input isbuilt. 2. A READ/WRITE TAPE, divided into a sequence
