Precollege characteristics - like high school grade pointaverages - as well as university entrance exams have, in general, turned out to be usefulpredictors of student retention.A prior investigation of the drop-out probability at the engineering department of ouruniversity (Andreeva-Moschen2) clearly showed that the university entry scores can be usedto identify groups of students at higher risk of failure. It also turned out that the probabilitydistribution for student drop-out depends on the type of high school the students graduatedfrom, namely secondary colleges of engineering or traditional high schools. Interestingly, theuniversity entry score distribution does not reflect any differences in this respect, which might

The results showed notably different effects in the nervous system. Neuroscientistsrecommend certain activities and sports to trigger the temporal lobe which generates gammawaves2. Research exhibits the brain, and classifies more than one source in the brain that generatesgamma waves. However, stress and anxiety are reactions reflected on the physical body andthrough emotions. If they are reduced, and relieved, the body acts differently, even though somepeople do not know how to manage their emotions and heal their stress3. Investigation focused

The Optics and Photonics Laboratory supports this emphasis by includingseveral types of lasers: HeNe, carbon dioxide, fiber, diode, Nd:YAG and Argon ion. Test andmeasurement equipment include detectors, power and energy meters, beam profilers,spectrometers, and high speed oscilloscopes.

At thetime, the CE department’s webpage had not been updated in some time, so very little accurate informationabout the department was available. To further complicate matters, the nine faculty members had minimal (ifany) interaction with the library: no purchasing or subscription suggestions, no cancelation complaints. Thesame was true for

alarger workload on the student’s side. This misconception was addressed multiple times duringthe semester to explain to the students that the workload is the same and that learning (whetherdeductive or inductive) requires the same amount of work, and that the only difference betweenthe two is the chronological order of the learning activities. As the semester progressed, studentsappeared to gradually believe this to be the reality. This was reflected in the feedback inQuestion 3 of the survey where not a single student felt that they are overburdened withworkload in the class. A total of 11 students either agreed or strongly agreed that the workloadfor the class was comparable to other courses with equal credit and 2 students were neutral
