differentiatedhigher education market. The prevalence of these rankings in the public mind have promptedmany universities to strengthen their enrollment management strategies in order to expandenrollments, maintain better balance across enrollment swings, and to manage their discountrates (amounts offered through financial aid) to keep their institutions solvent—a pressure that islikely only to intensify due to the fiscal impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Manyinstitutions report that the downside of national rankings is that they do not accurately reflect thequality of education offered by their institution, and therefore do not make for an efficientmarket.

We will also reflect on the challenges and opportunitiesin promoting new web-based educator materials.

A key component of the interactive lecture is that no“solution” slides are provided. The teams must work through the calculations or reflections togain a complete set of slides. This forces all students to engage in the lecture.

Though this is the case, it is worth noticing that team dynamics in Section 1 deteriorates in a statistically significant manner (see Table 7 where t = 1.38, nu = 29, and p<0.05) whereas there is no statistically significant difference when comparing answers to Question 2 (Q2) for pre- and post-project survey results in Section 2—see Table 12 where t = 0.83, nu = 41, and p>0.05.

found that “Good cooperation between development team and client” and “Goodrequirements” were the two qualities most beneficial to projects [37]. The Standish Group’sCHAOS reports also emphasize the importance of user involvement and complete requirements,and pre-2000 reports are frequently used to illustrate the connection between requirements andproject success [15], [29], [37]. Newer reports frame the factors differently, yet still point to aclear connection between user or stakeholder needs and clearly stated requirements,recommending that projects focus “on a narrow set of features and requirements, which usersfind easier to understand and absorb” [39]. Bahill and Henderson reflect on famous failures toconsider if poor requirements
