Learning communities have some key parts of the successful Treisman’s Model.10 In theearly 1980’s Uri Treisman created programs that enlisted African-American students to excel inmathematics rather than a program created solely to help them evade failure. Like LCs,Treisman’s emphasis is on collaborative learning among the students through the use of “smallgroup teaching methods.” Students are not just expected to be remediated, but expectations areraised based on what Treiman observed to be the strength of some groups of students on hiscampus: their ability to merge academic and social lives

Children need to understand the value of education as a foundation for their lives.It is Mr. Wilson’s belief that showing a child how math works in the real world will teach themin an engaging way that no conventional textbook can match. The program’s goal is to create anatmosphere that welcomes mistakes and risks equally, that allows a child the freedom to askquestions and learn.

After this astudent would need to take the course and could still be up to two years away from his or her firstposition. In simple terms we often need to look four or more years into the future to predict whatwill be cutting edge as our students enter the workforce. This problem has long guaranteed thatthere is a lag between industry need and graduate knowledge. Although some futuredevelopments are easily foreseen, many are not. To identify developments that can impactproduction within five to ten years we look to private and public researchers.

The main objective of the course isto improve student retention and to recruit more students to one of the engineering clubs. Thefocus of the course is to introduce students to the project management skills. The majordifference between this course and the senior capstone project course is the technical level of thestudents. To overcome that, the theoretical part of the project was assigned to a sophomore levelcourse where these students have the needed technical skills for the project. The course wasoffered as a one-hour lecture for the first semester and three-hour laboratory during the secondsemester. The

It is not expected that a freshman – or even theaverage senior – will score at the “Accomplished” level. Rather, instructors must decidewhat level of performance is reasonable for students in their class, and assign gradesaccordingly: freshmen may be expected to perform somewhere between the “Beginning”and “Developing” level, for example, with seniors expected to perform consistently at the“Competent” level.
