SI provides peer-facilitated study sessions led by competentundergraduate SI leaders who attend scheduled classes with students and then help the studentsto practice and discuss course materials in a series of review sessions. Sessions are open to allstudents who are enrolled in the course and want to improve their understanding of the material,as well as improve their grades. In the fall of 2008, two of the four co-authors of this paper, withfinancial support from Northeastern University's STEP UP National Science Foundation grant,attended a workshop on SI held at Boston University.After completing the one-day

In this paper, we report findings from our use of VTS in anexperimental graduate course in environmental engineering that aims to foster students’capacities for reflection. Using data from writing samples with methods of thematic analysis, weexplore students’ perceptions of their own learning from the VTS portion of this semester-longcourse called Developing Reflective Engineers through Artful Methods. One significant themeidentified was “Knowledge/Skills”, in which students identified specific knowledge gained orskills developed through their VTS experience, including skills of

Two skills frequently marked the truly great engineers: visual-spatial mastery of themathematics and physics that describe the world, and a commitment to observation of theparticulars in their practice. William F. Baker (1953-) epitomizes the visual-spatial mastery ofphysics and mathematics.

Different pedagogical approaches were usedto teach fundamental concepts along with software to students in this study and each approachwas randomly assigned to a single module. The first pedagogical approach is the InstructorGuided Method in which the instructor taught RStudio to students after each topic.

Theproblem is the same level of difficulty as the module assessment, so it serves as practice (hencethe name ‘rehearsal’). The rehearsal exam environment is the same as recitation—theinstructional staff are all there, students work in groups, and students can use their notes andexamples.The last 10 minutes of the rehearsal exam period are spent peer grading another student’srehearsal exam.
