Any more than that and it may seem to jumbled and could be harder for the student to grasp the concept fully.” • “Given that the narrator goes over the problem statement and addresses each aspect of the problem in turn (e.g. assumptions, given, goal, and etc.), it helped that he color-coded each term based on its category.”What we take away from these comments is that while one student said a systematic approach tocolor usage may not be necessary, others claim that the video content could be improved byutilizing some consistent approach, e.g

Professors while teaching would also be involved in thelearning process. All involved would benefit. As one writer put it, “I think mentors should berole models, BUT a role model who hasn't forgotten where s/he came from, how s/he got towhere s/he is now and always looking back to see if s/he can help those that came from the verysame place.”3 Everyone has had to write, and engineering faculty continue to have to producetext throughout their careers. By taking their own travels through communication as a means toget engineering students to look at their own tasks, a bond can form that allows for
