the analysis of this project’s data, to be described below, we have drawnheavily on the “epistemic frame elements” introduced by the Epistemic Games research group(epistemicgames.org). This group develops then researches games designed to help school-agedchildren learn to “think like a professional,” developing games for engineering, urban planning,and journalism. The epistemic frame helps researchers think through what “thinking like aprofessional” actually means in the context of people’s speech and actions. Shaffer andcolleagues19 argue (p. 4): The epistemic frame hypothesis suggests that any community of practice has a culture [...] and that culture has a grammar, a structure composed of: • Skills: the things that people within the

It can also be customized for various audiences. Goals of the Workshop are:to improve directly the research experience of both undergraduate and graduate students, to givefaculty research advisors a forum to discuss mentoring practices, and to learn "best practices"from one another.The WISE Committee offers this Workshop once a year to the summer REWU students.

research on adultlearners suggests that increased learning gains can be achieved when instruction is designed withstudents’ learning styles in mind [1]-[6]. In addition, several practitioners within the domain ofphysics, as well as engineering education, have noted the importance of teaching with learningstyles in mind [7]-[14]. Furthermore, attention to learning styles and learner diversity has beenshown to increase student interest and motivation to learn. The particular population of students that encompasses the focus of this paper is non-sciencemajors taking introductory physics at American University. Most students take this introductorycourse to satisfy the university’s General Education requirements for graduation. Because thebackgrounds

Minimal guidance wasgiven in this first trial and, based on these first results, we compiled a best practices guide to set aminimum standard for future classes.Some key best practices we found were: • Keep reports concise and on topic to minimize the video length. • Videos should be no more than 5-8 minutes (for these projects anything longer was repetitive and unnecessarily impacted grading times). • When possible, use a screen recording app rather than an iPhone to take video of terminal operations so text can clearly be read. • Group presentations are possible using a Zoom

Moreover, the tests arenot designed to measure soft skills and leadership, which are important factors affecting successin graduate school [15]. It should be noted that the Educational Testing Service, whichadministers the GRE, is aware of this limitation and is working on another test to assess theseattributes [16].
