Fundamentally, these two concepts can be related to the seven principles above,making them a good foundation for seminar development.Upon establishing a format and theme, the following learning outcomes emerged. At the end ofthe seminar, the participants were expected to be able to gauge self-confidence level and identifypotential area(s) of personal improvement; explain the role that motivation and memory play inlearning; compare and contrast the role of the teacher and students in a 'teacher centered'environment with that in a 'learner centered' environment; explore so-called 'best practices andanalyze

The nexus of thetwo paradigms seems to hold great promise in developing the skills in engineering students theNational Academy of Engineering has described. Such a paradigm has been utilized in acombined senior capstone design and engineering ethics sequence.IntroductionMy goal in the present work is to share some teaching tools and resultant impacts on students Ihave recently experienced.

Therefore, I asked a couple of close friends whocompleted their Ph.D.’s in a similarly short period for some additional resources. However, I amhoping that current and prospective graduate students may find some of these resources helpful totheir success as well.Setting GoalsVagueness and confusion can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation. 1 One way to addclarity is to define clear long-term goals. 1 Covey’s second habit is to “begin with the end inmind.” 2 Both Tracy 1 and Covey 2 emphasize that importance in setting long-term goals to helpmake decisions on what to do in the short

innovationsaddressed in SFIP. This statistical analysis is relevant because if it could be proven that thesefactors do not have statistical significance (after they have been averaged), then the surveyresults would suggest that faculty variation might be less of an influence on outcomes than somepeople might think. The statistical analysis was set up as a “Hypothesis test on means of normal distribution –variance unknown” using Student’s t-test [24]. The test was performed on the means of all sevenquestions in the survey. The results of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 SFIP groups were categorized asthe “population mean (μ0)” while the results of the 2015 SFIP group were categorized as “samplemean (X)” and “sample standard deviation (S)”.

solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to
