Few opportunities are structured for students to use writing to communicate withother students or to write through course concepts in low stakes ways that promote learningbefore officially setting those ideas down in more formal products.Similarly, when instructors were asked about the purposes of student writing in their courses, thetwo least-marked purposes were “learning course concepts” and “planning” (marked by 7 and 8of 15, respectively).

However, this system has often proven to developadversarial relationships among the project participants, majorly attributed to the lack ofcontractor's input in the design process, leading to change orders. Since the design process iscompleted with no contractor input, the probability of disputes deriving from behavioral andtechnical problems is significantly high. As for DB, the owner hires one single entity that servesas both the contractor and designer, allowing a single point of responsibility, contractor’s earlyinvolvement in design, and faster delivery [2, 3].

Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience. As argued byStreitwieser and Light, global education research has often focused only on aggregate programoutcomes and not individual student experiences, but

Yet, students consider implementation and adoption to be seamless. Therefore, a realistic solution of this type will always factor in the effects of implementation and adoption to holistically measure the actual improvement that the solution could attain. For example, instead of describing the effectiveness of a solution as a comparison between the future state and the current state, a realistic solution describes at least the deployment plan, incorporating assumptions
