This year,Construction Management was added to the distribution of majors. We were alsoable to increase the diversity of the program by adding more African American,Asian and Hispanic participants to the cohort. Between Fall 2018 and Spring2019, three students failed to meet the GPA requirements of the program andwere separated from the program. 2018-2019 by Major 2018 - 2019 by

My study habits did not change whatsoever. I continued to do my work, I prioritized school over everything else, yet I did not perform to the level I am used to. To say the least, it was very discouraging. After this time, I did what many students do, and called my mom crying. I was so upset because I spent so much time studying and had no reward. She did not know what to tell me, but reminded me that it would be okay and I would learn how to adjust and do better. After calling my step-mom, I confessed how scared I was to lose my
), a weighted system familiar to many in higher education. The two primaryvariants are the `straight’ scale (i.e. A, B, C, D, F) and the somewhat more granular `plus/minus’scale (i.e. A+, A, A-, B+, etc.), both used widely. Despite research on cumulative GPAs, gradeinflation, and academic performance, there is a dearth of research correlating grading systemsdirectly to students’ passion, interest, or motivation toward their coursework.In this work, we consider another GPA system using a continuous scale in which students’numerical course grade (0-100%) would map directly to their course GPA (0-4). The approachallows the GPA to provide infinite grade differentiation among peers. No prior literature hasconsidered student attitudes about such a

Each histogram in Figures 1-4 shows the grade distribution of each of thesecategories, with each section of the histogram corresponding to a letter grade (A, A-, B+, B etc.)based on the standard university grade scheme shown in Table 2.Based on these histograms and the course averages for each category, there are minimaldifferences in the Application Assignments, Midterm 2 Exam, and Overall Course grade betweenthe semester that used the traditional textbook and the semester that used the zyBooks e-textbook. The one category that did have a difference was the Final Exam. In this case therewas a 2.4% decrease from Autumn 2017 to Autumn 2018. The exam and preparation for theexam was the same in

Some teaching strategies to overcome thisinclude computer simulations and the use of videos, but only a few researchers have utilizedmotion analysis systems or other instrumentation in their dynamics courses.One of the goals of our recent Keck Foundation grant is to incorporate our motion analysissystem into courses in engineering and kinesiology. To date, we have utilized three differentassignment versions in our dynamics course: (a) allowing students to select their own artefact foranalysis, (b) supplying six specific artefacts for analysis, and (c) interfacing with a Kinesiologyclass on motor learning to provide “expert” engineering advice on performance measures ofnovice jugglers versus advanced jugglers.We
