Have a ‘contact us’ page that only includes a web form, and the publisher hides or does not reveal its location.”15 Essentially, predatory publishers deceive academics by faking the practices and policiesof top journals (e.g., peer review, editorial boards, impact factors). In doing so, predatoryjournals have the potential to degrade the quality of research in circulation and they reduce thelikelihood of scholars publishing in reputable

Future work will involve exploring whether students’ problem solving performance willbe improved by enhancing their spatial thinking abilities or understanding of key concepts inmechanics. In addition, we are planning on extending this research to other areas of application,such as engineering design or other disciplines and recruiting participants at various levels ofacademia (i.e. graduate students, instructors, and faculty members) to examine the impact ofexperience/expertise. Although eye-trackers are becoming more accessible and affordable, theyare not widely used and it requires trained personnel to manage every stage of the study. Inaddition

Their sophomoreyear, the teams develop a research proposal based on an approved research question and performa literature review. In the third year, students are encouraged to study abroad and continue toperform research on their approved topic.

An additional conclusion from this study was that students who didnot have access to a solution manual asked more questions of the instructor during office hoursthan students who could reference a solution manual. An additional study with engineeringstudents showed inconclusive results regarding whether graded vs. un-graded homeworkcorrelates with exam scores26.
