A thematic analysis of students’ perspectives and opinions on the construction of exam support sheets Shant A. Danielian, Vikram R. Arun, Natascha T. BuswellAbstractWith large amounts content and material taught by university professors and instructors, studentsface difficulty in trying to memorize course content in order to perform well on exams. Toresolve this issue, professors often allow students to create and use support sheets, also known ascheat sheets or crib sheets, which contain useful information to aid them during an exam. Thiseases the burden of rote memorization and might reduce student stress or anxiety during theexam.The creation of the support sheet lies in the hands of the

In future research, we would like to gather more qualitative data as well asexpand the scope of questions. We hope to develop evidenced-based instructional activities tohelp students become more aware of ethical considerations when designing automated decisionmaking systems.Bibliography: [1] Friedman, B., & Nissenbaum, H.

Subsequently, this requires an increased demand for design engineering students as wellas knowledgeable users trained for equipment maintenance. However, this can becomeproblematic to adequately provide a realistic environment for both teaching design of roboticssystems as well as the maintenance. In recent years

Efforts have been made, in small andlarge ways, to show students that their heritage, lifestyle, learning style, and other unique andvaluable parts of them are accepted by their classmates and never something to feel less-thanabout. For other students, we’ve made efforts to show them that it’s cool to embrace diversitythrough visibility and positive reinforcement and created work that made them have a stake inhow successfully all students are.If this is accepted as a presentation, I would like to continue the talk into a discussion with theattendees.INTRODUCTION:This paper is on the power of visibility.
