Traditional science and engineering instruction focuses almostexclusively on lecturing, a style comfortable for only Type 2 learners. Effective instructioninvolves teaching all learning styles–motivating each new topic (Type 1), presenting the basicinformation and methods associated with the topic (Type 2), providing opportunities forpracticing the methods

They must understand the impact these decisions have and carefullyexamine their own motives as well as those of their superiors. Exposing students to pedagogiesof liberation encourages them to claim responsibility for their decisions and to see themselves asco-teachers in a community of scholars15. Critical thinking and reflective action16 are aspects ofethics. These are also the outcomes of pedagogies of liberation. Students who are taught fromthis perspective not only learn to think ethically but also to act ethically.How to Teach with CasesHerreid13 stated that the use of case studies in teaching could be classified into four

After having discussions withcampus stakeholders and other interested faculty members, a new scope was established tooptimize the course design while operating within the current resource constraints. Additionally,two major concerns were explicitly expressed: 1) Create a course that maintains the academicexcellence and rigor reflected in other Rose-Hulman STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics) courses and 2) Integrate experiences to help students build the leadershipskills required of successful project leaders.

As an anecdotal example, thereis the student who receives a D or F on an exam, but claims to have studied for hours (studyingwhat, we don’t know…), and another student with a similar grade who didn’t study at all becausethey thought they already knew the information well enough. Students also unreasonably expectthat their assignment and test grades should reflect not just their achievements, but also theamount of time and effort they expend4. We regularly have

However, most students comment that thevisual abstract exercise is crucial to them realizing what it is they are doing in their research. Ageneral written outline exercise has been used in the past for students to reflect on their research,but it is not as powerful as the visual abstract, likely because the students tend to make visualconnections and image cues in their minds when thinking about their research, which cannot beas easily captured for them with words on a page.

With a fewexceptions, most respondents expressed their intent to forgo any future action with regard to theproposed curriculum models. For some, the reasons reflected a belief that there was not aconvincing case for the type of change embodied by these models. For example, regarding the 2-year co-curriculum model, one person cautioned that the model did “not align with our strategicplan or vision or needs or requests from employers.” Others feared the implications ofengineering technology being aligned too closely with engineering. “I discussed the concept withour faculty.

Schoenfeld madetwo important observations based on the results of these studies7. “First, parents and students who believe ‘either you have it or you don't’ are much less likely to encourage students to work hard on mathematics than those who believe ‘you can do it if you try.’ Second, our nation's textbooks reflect our uniformly low expectations of students: ‘U.S. elementary textbooks introduce large numbers at a slower pace than do Japanese, Chinese
