Somestudies have registered long-term effects of subtle interventions, if administered at the right timeand in the right environment. It is the hope that we will continue to register differences betweenthe groups as the longitudinal study continues. Other future work may possibly include focusgroups with some of the participants, or booster interventions if warranted by developing results.5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe gratefully acknowledge the Provost Office at San Jose State University for funding this studyunder the 2015

Through this prolonged address, these students were able to bring together theefficiencies and supports of traditional construction with those offered by emerging materials andprocesses, including digital fabrication and parametric data analysis. The first home,HOUSE01, will be completed in the spring of 2017. Although not yet complete, early evidencesare promising: the current bid for the construction cost of the kitchen and 1.5 baths forHOUSE01 is $10,000, roughly $17,000 less than the average cost of similarly scaled homes; thecurrent schedule of production indicates

One of the changes that was made was in how the communications were written whensent to students who had not completed the first assignment or had missed a class in the firstthree weeks.The first assignment in the class was for the student to meet with their advisor to go over theweekly study plan and a semester planner.

the notion ofscript [3], schema, or a plan, genre is a concept used to describe what people do in practice,specifically, their discourse or discursive practices. Genres are socially shared; Orlikowskiand Yates [18] define them as ―socially recognized types of communicative actions — suchas memos, meetings, expense forms, training seminars—that are habitually enacted bymembers of a community to realize particular social purposes (pg. 542).‖ Often, thesecommunicative actions can involve sequences of interrelated genres (e.g., a meeting mayinvolve presentation and discussion genres; a class might involve group activity followed byan individual assessment) referred to as a genre system.Overall, the genre perspective argues that there some

However, the advantage of catchingthem at this position in the departmental study plan is that the students were also more aware ofthe potential benefit of the course on their career, and the concept of adding this course project totheir resume was very attractive. In spite of catching the students at the end of their collegeexperience, the classroom demographics were favorable. When making decisions on the applicability of any set of techniques or approaches toteaching a course, several factors must be balanced.
