The project team is checking on the web and using various databases to determine the courses listed on the university “books” as being taught in their departments, with the goal being to develop a questionnaire/survey to be sent to the department head and engineering dean to identify (a) how frequently these courses are taught, number of students who took these classes, etc., and (b) a copy of the course syllabus and information on the textbook(s) used.

concerns,some particular to the 4+1 program. These concerns were: a. The 4+1 program is popular among the students and the faculty. It provides a relatively easy way to attract students into the graduate programs. Students choose it because it allows them to remain at Cal Poly, they are familiar with the system, the faculty, and already have housing and a social support system in place. On the down side, the 4+1 program blurs the lines between being an undergraduate and graduate student. Students and faculty are unclear when the transition is made. They are treated more as super seniors. b. Students felt that the number of undergraduate students (many 4+1 students) taking 500 level courses during their senior

The instructor providesfeedback for each to each student on the technical contents of their review as well as grammar,spelling and clear transmission of ideas.At the end of the course the students were asked to respond to an anonymous survey about thisactivity. The survey focused on questioning the students on the technical concepts that they learnedfrom the article reviews as well as how they felt about writing the reviews. The main findings canbe summarized as follows: a) Students didn’t like having to write the critical reviews. b) Students acknowledged the value of the critical reviews as a tool that gave them
