quantitiesof textual data by processing data sets in both time and resource efficient ways.One of the tasks that NLP is used for in analyzing textual data sets is that of stylometry.Stylometry can be understood as a linguistic analysis of use of words in terms of both choice andorder, which can help characterize traits of a single or group of author(s). Fox, Ehmoda, andCharniak (2012) describe the underlying principle behind work on authorship attribution to be aset of statistically quantifiable characteristics of the writing style reflected by the word/phrasechoices of individuals which make it easy to distinguish one author from the other. Stylometry isthus a type of quantitative or statistical analysis which helps identify and characterize

Onestudent might choose to bring in the catalog pages that depict an American Girl doll that wearsan insulin pump, another might show a YouTube video of a child receiving a cochlear implant,and a third might play part of 3OH!3’s song “Don’t Trust Me” that includes the lyrics “Shush,girl. Shut your lips. / Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.” As students share theseartifacts with their peers, they are honing their ability to see how representation matters indisability studies.

furtherenhance the ability for the staff to see what courses need to be taken across the entire studentpopulation. This will allow for more targeted course planning and outreach when courses arescheduled.Lastly, expanding Salesforce usage to include Salesforce Communities is also being explored. Itwill allow for continued growth and provide a place for students to easily access answers tocommonly asked questions and a collaborative space for them to connect with each other, staff,and faculty.References[1] L.

beliefs about the nature of knowledge (simplicity and certainty of knowledge) andprocesses of knowing (sources of knowing and justification). Many studies using themultidimensional frameworks are quantitative in nature.More recently, situation and context-specific models of epistemic cognition have emerged. Thesemodels suggest that an individual’s epistemic cognition is dependent on situational factors, suchas interest and time. One example of a situation and context-specific model is Chinn et al.’s [4]AIR Model of epistemic cognition, which places an emphasis on an individual’s aim for a taskand the processes used to achieve this aim.Each type of model for epistemic cognition is marked by different underlying theoreticalassumptions and

The goalof the game is to assist students in developing engineering intuition on how truss structuresbehave when subjected to loads. The software tool is based on finite strain theory that enablesthe user to visual material and geometric nonlinearities and dynamic movement of failedstructure. Users play the game by positioning bars and joints to construct a truss structure that isable to support an external mass and the weight of the truss structure itself. The structure theplayer builds must consist of joints and bars, where the bars are connected via the joints. Theplayers win nut(s) based the
rules early, guiding members to note their thoughts in the “parking lot,” adhering to these practices, and coming back to review tabled issues were key. • Pay attention to facilitation and process implementation. Communicating clear goals and objectives and sharing a detailed agenda that outlined the process and expectations ahead of time helped everyone start on the same page. Flexibility in the process is needed when additional relevant issues emerge. Use facilitation practices to leverage members’ expertise and skills to keep the entire group on track and help each other.ReferencesAmbrose, S., Bridges, M.W., DiPietro, M., Lovett, M.C., & Norman, M.K.
