The relationship between total score and course GPA aresomewhat correlated (α<0.05). The individual and predicted results are shown in Figure 2.Notably for this sample, the highest mind map rubric score for students earning D’s in the classwas 4 points; however, there were also several students with higher grades that also scored 3 or 4points on the rubric. The predicted course grade increases with increasing rubric score with aslope of 95% confidence interval 0.52 ± 0.46.

The project is an integrated health monitoring system. The health monitor determinesand displays a user’s heart rate and measures a user’s reaction time (the latter of which can beuseful for diagnosing diseases like Parkinson’s disease). A complete, digital implementation of thehealth monitor will incorporate topics including combinational logic, common combinationalbuilding blocks, finite state machines, counters, adders, shift registers, and hierarchical design.On the first day of the course, students are shown a functioning health monitor and

learning-centered approach. This approach first decides what students should learn given their backgroundand future goals, and then figures out how the learning can be facilitated. A way to implement thelearning-centered approach is the integrated course design shown in Figure 1. The integrated course design begins with identifying the key factors related to the contextof the course, nature of the course and characteristics of the students and the instructor. These arecalled situational factors and listed in Figure 1. They are used to make the following three key setsof decisions: (a) learning outcomes: what students should learn in the course (b) assessments and feedback: how the students and the instructor will know if the

All students had thesame instructor for this course and were enrolled in their third semester at a highly selectiveuniversity in the eastern United States. They all earned high grades (mostly A’s with theoccasional B) on homeworks, quizzes, and exams. Each interview had two phases. First, studentswere asked open-ended questions about their methods of problem solving and conceptualquestions. Second, they were asked to think aloud as they solved
