Students were required to review at least three primary sources and summarize information in an infographic. They shared their work with classmates in a gallery walk3. Annotated reviews were assessed primarily by source type and quality (i.e., peer reviewed), summary points, reflection response, and format. The infographics were

-structured interviews allowed us to gather student perspectives on a variety of issues that theyconsidered to be relevant. In this paper, we present the analysis of the interviews. Our analysisfinds that students had three primary sources from which they deduce what they are expected todo, and how to do it: research experience prior to beginning their program, their PhD advisor, andtheir peers. Each of these sources helps students understand different kinds of expectations, withadvisors providing primarily high-level guidance on what tasks to accomplish, and peers helpingeach other with lower-level tasks. Many students began the program anticipating more hands-onsupport from their advisor, and instead found themselves relying more on their labmates

The College ofEngineering at an urban research university is acutely aware of the increased need for retentionprograms in engineering colleges across the US. To respond to this need, a unique mentorshipprogram, the LMP, was established as one of the main components of an Engineering LearningCommunity (ELC) for first-year engineering students. Students self-select into the ELC programand, upon being registered, are assigned a peer mentor.

Feedback time during these sessions becomes more limited as thenumber of students increases, hence supplemental instruction (SI) can be utilized to increasefeedback and student interactions. Here, we demonstrate how the implementation of SI, asdeveloped by UMKC, in combination with tablet based demonstrations and hand-written/program-specific examples are effectively used to improve student grades and courseevaluations. Weekly SI sessions were developed to reiterate key concepts from the lab for thatweek and also provided students with a peer-friendly environment where they could engage inquestions/discussion without the presence of the course

A double-blind peerreview was performed within the class to include critical analysis practice for students. Thecourse culminated in a ‘two-day’ conference, but to fit within a standard course schedule the twodays were not sequential nor were they full day lengths.

This paper provides suggestions on how these challenges can beovercome and, in particular, how self-assessment rubrics can help eliminate much of thetraditional design course assessment workload for teachers. This paper provides suggestionsfor preparing incremental self-assessment rubrics for a capstone design course. While bothself- and peer-assessment can provide significant assessment time-saving for tutors, self-assessment also promotes student learning, according to recent education research.Appropriately designed rubrics can also provide students with guidance on levels ofattainment required for design tasks and students also learn to assess design

It was assumed that when teaching mathematical concepts, instructors willnaturally gravitate toward using familiar examples and techniques in order to explain thematerial thoroughly.
