elements or structures are valuable to students in enhancingtheir time management for the enrolled course. A limitation of the reported results is that actualimprovement in time management skill was not measured; rather, the students’ perception ofimprovement was measured. Further study with measures of actual time management skills iswarranted. Further, longitudinal study regarding the persistence of time management skillacquired could elucidate important relationships about transfer of this necessary life skill to othercontexts.

heuristics has been highlighted as an areaof concern by researchers with a view to developing school practice [12]. For the purpose of thispaper problem-solving will be based on Schoenfeld’s definition of a problem, that the individualattempting a problem doesn’t know how to solve it with familiarity or by comfortable routine.Sternberg [13] promoted the problem-solving cycle which included (a) Problem Identification, (b)Definition of a problem, (c) Constructing a strategy for problem-solving, (d) Organisinginformation about the problem, (e) Allocation of resources, (f) Monitoring problem-solving and(g) Evaluating the problem. Sternberg also stressed the need to be flexible in undertaking problem-solving task. As inventive as we can be in solving

For example,they might point out problems in the author’s work or provide suggestions to improve the work,similar to that in the last two comments in Table 1, below.Reviewer feedback can be evaluated by a process referred to as metareviewing. Metareviewing isdefined as the process of reviewing reviews, i.e., the process of identifying the quality ofreviews. Metareviewing is a manual process and just as with any process that is manual;metareviewing is (a) slow, (b) prone to errors and is (c) likely to be inconsistent. An automatedreview process ensures consistent (bias-free) reviews to all reviewers. It also provides immediatefeedback to reviewers, which is likely to motivate reviewers to improve

These campuses serve as both feeder schools for the maincampus and also offer baccalaureate and associate degrees in a number of STEM majors.Considering the number and geographic diversity of the campuses involved and the number ofdifferent STEM fields served, this effort is significant.The project is based on three intervention strategies and an assessment strategy. The threeintervention strategies include: (a) enhanced tutoring programs for foundational mathematicscourses in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, (b) a freshman toy-based design course (calledToy FUN-damentals) in which dissection and re-design

This decision was important given that participants made distinct reference to thesecategories and to converge them would have given a faulty representation of participants’experiences.
