This fact debunks the negative message communicated aboutHBCUs only graduating the highest number of Blacks in STEM due to the high percentage ofBlacks enrolled. According to the NRC, the report highlights the effectiveness of HBCUs inincreasing participation and success of minority students.

current political system [17]. While locus of control has been studied extensively since the 1980’s, there is no generalconsensus as to the correlation between the locus of control and ethical decision-making. Studieshave shown no correlation between the two constructs, while others have reported that aninternal locus of control is positively correlated to ethical decision-making [10],[14]. An internallocus of control means that the individual feels they are in control of a given behavior [16].While not indicative of ethical behavior, the perception of being in control when faced with anethical dilemma may positively correlate to ethical decision-making and ethical awareness. Personality has been used to elucidate a variety of

A key step in the implementation is training40. Instructions to graders must be clear,instructions to TAs may require practice or guided real-time instruction. Depending on thechange, the TAs may need additional technical training, like running MATLAB or moderatinga discussion board.A key aspect of any team is cohesion. The teaching team must “buy in” to the changes. At aminimum this reduces the risk that TAs will revert back to “easier” or more familiar methods.At worst, the teaching assistants can revolt. Buy-in is also important because changes canrequire more time and

students and faculty contribute meaningfully to a region’seconomy and individuals get adequate return on their investment in education. Finally auniversity’s moral function gives individuals the guidance and experience to act in ways thatcontribute to a common good. Taken together these functions contribute to holisticdevelopment of the individual. It is proposed that this Learning-Societal-Economic-Moral(L-S-E-M) framework can be used to describe potential impacts of IT on university functions.In other words it provides a framework to discuss the aims which a university educationshould seek to achieve as pressures rise to shift its functions from humans to computers.As digital technologies are increasingly adopted in education and cost pressures

The grant team reviewed studentapplications and assigned qualified students to faculty mentors, following student preferences ifthere was sufficient room available in that project. Students selected for the four-week researchexperience were expected to complete the appropriate first-year curriculum for their major beforeparticipation in the program. Students who were not on track to complete the first-yearcurriculum were referred to another summer program at CSUB for first year students who werestruggling with their first-year curriculum. First year transfer students were also accepted if theywere at the lower-division curriculum level within the major. First year transfer
