These results reveal a highly favorable opinion of the overall student experience.The level of satisfaction was the most positive indicator, with 85% of respondents expressingthat they were very satisfied with this experience. Across all three questions, just one responseindicated a negative opinion of summer research as a learning experience. As shown in Table 5,one respondent selected “Well, it was better than working just for a salary, but I don't think Ilearned a lot.”Table 3.

also felt they know enough to make problems, which may reflect their havingcompleted the course(s) in the topics they were working on. Shakurnia et al. found learningbenefits for students who created 60 multiple choice questions covering different topics over thelength of the term, which is closer to the experience of the OER students than the coursestudents. OER students overall reported that their understanding of mechanics increasedfollowing their work term.Course students seemed to stick with topics they were comfortable with (e.g. Work-Energy), andwere not required to revise and correct their problems. The students who completed the problemcreation activity and the post-survey did not indicate substantial gains in confidence in the
with respect to student-instructorinteractions in the course.Students across all sections on average agreed with the statement, “I felt that my lab instructor(s)wanted me to succeed.” In the ASP lab section, all respondents (100%) agreed with thisstatement, compared with 76% of ASP-General students and 87% of non-ASP students. Thissuggests that while the course instructors have been effective across the board in communicatingtheir support of students, this was particularly true in the ASP lab.In addition, students in the ASP lab sections were more likely to agree with the statement “I feltvalued as an individual in lab section,” with 91% agreeing with this statement, compared withonly 31% of ASP-General students and 63% among non-ASP students
. The criteria for a student to be admitted to the program include the high schoolgrade point average, proficiency in English (TOEFL), the score on the UDEM entrance exam, and an interview for theverification of interest and explanation of the honors program. Admitted students are asked to submit a letter signed bytheir parents in which they must commit to supporting their children when they go to NUT, because they must pay tuitionthere (which is coincidentally very similar to UDEM´s tuition).The first Japanese language teachers arrived in fall 2007. NUT also sent special Japanese language computers, books,dictionaries, and instrumentation for the program.During spring 2008, NUT asked UDEM to receive two graduate students from NUT (one from the

multipleattempts to complete any given assessment, largely due to the high bar required of them beforemastery was awarded, but that overall grades were nearly identical to those under the traditionalcourse model. This indicated that the new framework was not impacting the grade distribution but wasbolstering student learning. It was also demonstrated that scores on daily work tasks, despite being aminimal contribution to the course grade, were nonetheless strongly correlated with the overall grade(Pearson Correlation = 0.827, N = 84). Additional work is needed to determine causality in thisrelationship. Finally, student perceptions of the course were presented along with somecontextualization and interpretation from the instructors.References 1. S. A

This is likely because all ECE 411’s labs are assigned from a lab manual providedby the manufacturer of the equipment used by the students in the lab. The instructor providesminimal additional guidance.3.3 Analysis of lab report assessmentsEach lab course’s lab instructional materials were analyzed to investigate how the student labreports are evaluated.

The design consisted of a Vortex S-600 fan capable of producing a flow of 340 cfm. Airconditioning duct piping was used to reduce the 6-inch outlet of the fan to the 4-inch clear plastictubing. Duct tape was used to hold the components of the tunnel together. This design was veryeffective in what it set out to do: produce lift. When installed in this tunnel the air foil from theScience First Tunnel experienced noticeable lift as it rose to the top of the tube.Figure 4. Max Lift Wind Tunnel Designed by Team B.
