. Recent studies have noted the rise of data mining as acareer path with increasing opportunities for graduates. These opportunities are not onlyavailable in the private sector; the U.S. government has recently invested $200 million in “bigdata” research. These suggest the importance for us to teach the tools and techniques that areused in this field.Data mining introduces new challenges for faculty in universities who teach courses in this area.Some of these challenges include: providing access to large real world data for students,selection of tools and languages used to learn data mining tasks, and reducing the vast pool oftopics in data mining to those that are critical for success in a one-semester undergraduatecourse.In this paper, we

StudentsAbstractImproving student retention is a major concern for academic programs. To bolster this effort, itwould be helpful to identify factors that affect student retention. This study was designed todetermine if admission type or status, gender, class standing, introductory math level, courseload, course completion, and academic performance are related to retention of first yearComputer and Information Technology (CIT) majors. Records of students who declared CIT asa major in the fall 2012 were examined to determine if there is a connection between thesefactors, and whether CIT students returned in the fall 2013. Results showed that there was asignificant relationship between student retention, introductory math level, and completion ofrequired first year

The author wished to understandany flaws in the flipped classroom implementation and determine if the process was in any waydetrimental to the learning experience. As the results demonstrate, students were initiallyhesitant but open-minded about the flipped classroom experience, and in the end showed anoticeable appreciation for the modified course layout.Choosing the Flipped ClassroomPrior to the study, the author participated in a faculty learning community (FLC) that researchedthe

Second, while an on campus delivery made PurdueUniversity courses a possibility for high school students, very few were geographically closeenough to campus to take advantage of the opportunity.

We encourage team leaders to avoid being dictators, to make sure that youngerteam-members have the help that they need, to delegate responsibilities without micromanagingeverybody, and to immediately report any concerns to the management member assigned to theirteam (or to the faculty advisor). One of the most common problems with inexperienced teamleaders is an inability to recognize or report a problem. We try to counteract this by regularlyreminding all team-members, team-leaders, and student management that problems are unlikelyto be resolved if not reported up

Human-Centered Computing (HCC) is a relatively new academic discipline concerned with computingand computational artifacts as they relate to the human condition. HCC attempts to solve real-world problems through the integration of computing with people, technology, information,policy and, sometimes, culture. While young, Clemson University’s HCC program has thedistinction of being the nation’s first, and only, computing program at a major researchinstitution that has a majority African-American and majority female enrollment.

However, in this case the skill to be assess needs to bedefined clearly to establish whether students have successfully accomplished this skill ornot. Since students simply state “Yes” or “No”.
