Schreuders, Arthur Johnson University of Maryland, College ParkIntroductionFinal examinations are a stressful time for everyone involved. In an effort to reduce the stresslevel (and have a little fun), over the last several years some of the faculty in the BiologicalResources Engineering Department at the University of Maryland have given final examinationsin the “Great Literature” format. The Great Literature series of final exams is based uponrecognizable literary masterpieces. The styles and general contents of

when confronted with assignments that do not have cookbook like instructions. There is little comfort in explaining to students that real engineering problems do not come with cookbook instructions. 3. Making the experimental apparatus “interesting” or “practically relevant” does not fully compensate for the student discomfort at being confronted with a task that they feel unprepared to successfully complete. 4. The post-lab surveys did not clearly tell the student to limit their answer to the inquiry- based experiments. This error in our instrument caused many students to report on their experience with both types of experiments in mind. The next version of our instrument will correct

Even with this in mind, it is surmised that response rate was wellbelow 10 percent. This leads to the possibility that those who volunteered to completeVECTERS may be a skewed sample of individuals who are perhaps interested in engineeringeducation.VECTERS includes a mix of both positive and negative statements.
