High ratings had to also be explained. The results of these peer ratingswere summarized by the course facilitators and then returned to students during brief oneon one performance review sessions.Because of the limited report writing experience of the students the course facilitatorsfound it necessary to provide guidelines for the final project reports. All final reportswere to clearly describe the project goal, methodology, results, conclusions, andreferences. It was also necessary to return the reports for one rewrite because of the lackof raw data and insufficient

different audience levels.MethodsThe efficacy of the course project, reinvented to be adaptable to a semester impacted by COVID-19, is assessed through two main methodologies. First, a direct assessment of student work isperformed using “teacher research” [31], [32], [33]. That is, student created artifacts from thecourse project are analyzed to determine degree to which students learned skills and enhancedcontent knowledge. In particular, students’ writing from various project milestones areexamined, with a specific focus on reflection pieces. Throughout the milestones students wereasked to evaluate the videos produced by Wired Magazine and their peers, as well as completeself-reflections at multiple time points.

symposium again for 2008.The reason JUMR is a special opportunity is that it is only for undergraduate submissions. Theguidelines and review process take the students’ level into account. The students are comparedwith their peers, not with others who have significantly more experience. This protocolencourages the students to write and revise their own papers rather than having an advisor orsupervisor writing the paper and adding the student as an author.At the JUMR symposium, the undergraduate student is once again in a session that is forundergraduate presenters. The student is not compared with more experienced presenters andthey have the opportunity to present their work to their peers as well as to faculty and industryprofessionals. The

Consistent with many “freshman support” programs at other universities, the goals ofthe course are to introduce the midshipmen to the “big picture” of the major for context; tointroduce the midshipmen to each other and develop a mutual support network; and, to provide“tools” for success in follow-on courses. These tools include technical writing, critical thinking,design process, project management, computer programming and software, and engineeringdrafting skills. There is a significant project-based learning (PBL) component to the course. Theassignments include both individual and team submittals. The double “lab” schedule allowsmuch of the

This information gives both the team and the instructor criticalfeedback on the team’s working dynamics and interaction. Another peer evaluation is done afterthe final demonstration.

In addition to the presentations in front of the class during theproject development stage (for some critical feedback from their peers), students were also required toselect a research paper or technical report in their area of specialization, write a critical report on thatpaper, and then present it in front of their peers. As is usually the case, by going through a cycle ofwriting, reviewing, and editing as would be expected for any research document, students improvedtheir writing skills.

When writing lectures, however, a great deal ofthought and planning is required to balance the amount of detail presented and the need to coverthe material. Also, in some cases the text book only superficially covered material I consideredimportant. In those cases more material had to be included the lecture than might otherwise havebeen necessary. I also found that preparing lecture notes was a skill that improved as thesemester progressed.The most challenging task I encountered was that of writing good tests.

Publications in top scientific journals (all of them arepublished in English) are the main indications of a successful scientist. Native Russianspeaking scientists often have trouble writing in English for journals and conferences becauseof structural differences between the English and Russian languages as described previously.Furthermore many Russians with “unpolished” English” have a strange confidence that thescientific value of their submission will outweigh its linguistic incompetence and a nativespeaker in editorial board will ultimately “polish” it.
