This includes submission of an abstract, a first draft for instructor review, a second draftfor peer review, and a final camera-ready paper. On the last day of class, students present theirpapers at an in-class conference. Developed by one of the authors, this course has become ananchor for students pursuing an applied physics minor. Because the course has no prerequisitesother than a Q1 math prerequisite, for most of the students, this

All students were also required to write a few sentences supporting why they provided the ‘bonus’ they did, as well as provide a reflection on their own activities. These assessments informed how a portion of the marks were assigned for individual projects. • Minor Project - ENGR 112 included one minor project of two weeks or longer attached to each of its three modules. For each project, students were randomly assigned to teams within their cohort. Projects were structured such that any materials and supplies needed

Rather, it stresses: (1) one can use personalprocesses to ‘strategically regulate behavior and the immediate learning environment’,where the feedback can in turn influence the person’s covert process[14]; (2) theinfluences of externally social experiences and environments are important to internallypersonal processes[15]; and (3) ‘Behavior is, therefore, a

Aspects of self-regulated learning also affected students’ online learning attitudes [13]. Thosestudents who better self-regulate their studies by managing their time properly, being conscious oftheir learning and social behavior, being critical in examining course content, and persevering inunderstanding the learning material are most likely to better perform online [19]. On the other hand,research reveals that an online environment presents multiple barriers to self-directed learning. Theinstruction and peer interactions available in a traditional classroom setting are limited, thus leadingto non-engagement of learners [20]. A qualitative
