thefollowing tasks: mile-long run, tap dance, solve some mathematical questions, gather specifictypes of herbs, and cook a certain meal. Almost surely, there would be people who can ace allfive tasks, but would everyone be in agreement that the aliens are testing us in a fair way? Thistype of testing would be analogous to what has been used widely in our education system. Analternative would be to give a choice to each person being tested about how they want to beassessed. Someone who is a great golfer may not want to be tested for their running speed, but itdoes not mean that they are bad at every craft they are involved in. Similarly, students should begiven the opportunity to select their way of assessment. In this study, how that can

The EPICS program has experienced a more rapid phase of growth in recentyears, doubling the enrollment from 292 in the spring of 2010 to 603 in the fall of 2017 and over700 in 2018. This phase of growth included shifts in the composition of teams, as more first andsecond year students enrolled in the design
a research project focusing on academic resilience as a psychological tool for improving student engagement. The ongoing research investigates the concur- rent validity of an instrument (ARS-30) with an existing instrument (CD-RISC), an academic resilience instrument posed to measure resilience in an educational context. Besides his interests in game-based ac- tivities around the scholarship of teaching and learning, he is also interested in evidence-based practices through systematic reviews, meta-analysis and empirical research on engineering education issues. In addition, he is interested in measuring inventories development by examining the psychometric properties of instruments in engineering education.Dr

2018This semester has a total of 16 A’s for the group grade and 15 A’s for the individual grade,meaning that more students contributed equally in their groups. There are no grades lower than aC this semester, both with the group and individual grades. The reason for this improvement ingrade distribution from the Spring 2018 semester most likely relates to the lecture timing in thecurriculum as well as emphasizing the importance of the peer evaluation during the assignmentdate. These factors will be taken into consideration during the Spring 2019 analysis. Overall,more students received A’s and B’s in the Fall 2018 semester than the Spring 2018 semesterbecause of the improvement to the lecture content.The questionnaire is an ungraded assignment
. Class observation is paramount tocontrast what professors plan to do, what they actually do, and what students perceive or learn. Inthis regard, 68% of the faculty members surveyed are willing to be observed in class and receivefeedback from these observations in order to improve their practice. In addition, future researchwill also involve the development of a set of faculty competencies in order to align training efforts.REFERENCES[1] J. H. G. Zamora and A. B.
