the average rating in the traditional classroom. The main reason for that is asfollows: Although the conventional teaching module is adopted in the first stage (the first sixweeks), the teaching contents are smaller but with a more comprehensive teaching syllabusthan the flipped one. Therefore, students have better commanding and application of theknowledge taught in the traditional classroom. In the flipped module, teaching chapters cover70% contents of the teaching plan. Because of the flipped module, the video content uses thefragmented form under dispersed teaching, leading to students' relatively weaker mastering ofknowledge than in the first stage, which explains the second phase of the test scores showinga slightly decreasing trend

Strategic Plan:  Goal 1: Transform lives through meaningful learning experiences  Goal 2: Inspire, nurture and empower scholarship, creativity, discovery, innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives.The Project CollaborationOne challenge faced in the first year of the project collaboration was that the art and engineeringclasses met on different days. This meant that aside from one scheduled meeting outside of classtimes, the students were strongly requested to meet several times over the length of the projectoutside of class times. This did not work as hoped. While some teams did meet, othersencountered difficulty finding times to meet as a full team or reported a breakdown incommunication. There was a general sense of frustration

Traditional methodologies use comprehensiveplanning, detailed documentation, and expansive designs for developing software. Since 2001,more recent methodologies such as agile modeling, have gained significant attention from thesoftware engineering community. Some of the characteristics of agile modeling are (a) shortdevelopment cycles, (b) incremental planning, (c) continuous feedback, (d) reliance oncommunication, and (e) evolutionary design7. Thus, agile software development is an approachto software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through thecollaborative effort of self-organizing and cross

We have some pre-planned assignments, such as a moon weight calculator which asks for auser’s weight on earth and calculates his or her weight on the moon. We also build flexibilityinto the curriculum, incorporating student ideas whenever possible. For example, after workingon the moon weight calculator program, a student said “I wonder if we could use the same ideato come up with a sentencing calculator?”. The sentencing calculator involved accepting as input(a) an initial sentence duaration, (b) eligibility for “half time” and (c) if you were good and gotyour 10% “kick”. This program was exciting to create because we hadn’t yet discussed “if”statements. We had to work around

When instructors and students come from different culturalbackgrounds, planned efforts to cross social borders and develop caring, respectful relationshipsare essential. From the very first day of school, teachers can set the tone by greeting students atthe door with a smile and a warm, welcoming comment. Greeting second language learners witha phrase in their native language can be especially affirming. Teachers can also forge positiverelationships with students by sharing stories about their lives outside of school, learning aboutstudents’ interests and activities, inviting them to make choices and decisions about classactivities, and listening to their concerns and opinions.In addition to establishing

This is because of small sample size.As mentioned earlier, 3-4 students were assigned to each group. It would have been ideal if therewere only two students per group as it was expected to improve learning. It has been noticed thatout of 3-4 students in each group, a student, on average, in each groups did not have muchcontribution to the success of labs/final project. More modules are planned to be deployed in Fall2018 to alleviate this problem.The final exam for course tests whether key learning objectives have been met but the final examresults were not recorded question-wise and
