9 different sessions of this class taught by 6 instructors. Two course modules were delivered to one session of CS1428 and the following week the students received the survey and the results were compared to the survey results from students who did not receive the modules (under the same instructor and different ones as well). All surveys were conducted within a10 day window around the end of November. In one module, the focus was on Computer Science big picture and the other focused on cyber warfare (as explained above in details). Another aspect that was not reflected in the results was the amount of interest the student developed from these modules. The students approached the faculty who delivered those modules after class and described

The details of how ENA was used to analyze the coaching sessions are provided inthe Results and Discussion section.To begin our ENA of co-occurrences of discourse elements (Table 1’s codes), we firstsubdivided the utterances of discourse into groups of utterances. These groups are calledstanza windows. The utterances within a window are assumed to be topically related. Inthis study, we examined conversations between students and coaches where students andcoaches are responding to each other’s previous discourse. As a result

These data allow for reflections on how studentsare performing on each class subject, as well as give the instructor of that subject specifics aboutwhat topics might be causing difficulty. It also allows for identification of questions that mightnot properly assess knowledge of a specific topic.Outcomes from the sophomore exam and FE exam can also be used in conjunction with oneanother. One question posed while observing results from the sophomore exam was whetherthese results projected to the eventual performance of students on the FE

model development requires students tocommunicate their ideas and continue to evolve their solutions to reflect their evolving ideasconcerning the mathematical situation. The model refinement process involves moving from aninitially chaotic model to a more developed model through an iterative process. Importantly,while these activities are to an extent open-ended, they are not the type of open-ended problemwhere any solution is acceptable; there are criteria built into the problem that make somesolutions better than others, aligning with the self-assessment principle (see below).12 In thiscourse, the iterative process involves three major submissions with feedback from both peers andinstructors.16

The distributionof students that take the intro course in the fall and spring is random, and associated primarilywith registration.

To illustrate an example of such skills reflecting the needs ofindustry, Rajala [4] defines the areas of competence necessary for a global engineeringprofessional as global competence, technical competence and professional competence.However, she points out that the attributes which are associated with each of these competencespresent a challenge for engineering educators regarding both the context in which they should beintroduced, as well as “determining what can be accomplished within the constraints of auniversity education” [4].

Because the characters that show compassion do not have happy endings in the novel, are readers led to believe that power is only given to those who display more animalistic behavior? In any case, it is important to keep in mind that a power figure in the novel ended up dead: Joe Dale. Therefore it is certainly plausible to say that if given enough time, minority figures can eventually overthrow the majority. Readers must reflect on both issues carefully before coming to concrete conclusions. Does this novel foreshadow a possible future? Where will modern society end up in the future? These are questions that will remain unanswered until humans truly understand the power
