In this research, we redefine the role of student and instructor, as well as howstudents can reflect on their progress in learning. They are informed of the need for their shiftingof self image from dependent passive learner in the classroom to an independent, well-spoken,reflective learner. In doing so, learning, attitude, and student retention can be improved.Overall, daily reflections provide formative feedback to the instructor and allow reflection onteaching and pedagogy. Students can self regulate, or monitor their learning. Students can reflecton their role in class see they are active participants in their learning. We report

As a follow-up, six students, each representing a differentproject team, were interviewed about their experiences in the transfer activities and theirthoughts about transfer in general. The authors independently analyzed the transfer map, writtenassignments, and interview transcriptions to identify patterns and themes related to transfer.Results from the activity deliverables and interviews suggest that the transfer activities providean effective student experience to promote reflection about transfer, document a list of students'main perceived takeaways from their capstone experiences, and, as such, offer data to capstonefaculty to improve capstone education.
