Of the original 304 papers, 167 were accepted, 98 were rejected, and the remainderwere either still “under review” or had been sent to “derelict” websites. The number ofacceptances astonished the author: “I was expecting 10 to 15 percent, or worst case, a quarteraccepted. . . . Peer review is in a worse state than anyone guessed.”38 Even more disconcerting isthe fact that fully 60% of the acceptances “occurred with no sign of peer review.”36 Dear Alimo Atoa, We fully respect your choice and withdraw your artilce.

academic misconduct conducted by students in classes inhigher education across disciplines. This research is a result of the combined efforts of facultymembers representing the disciplines of humanities, arts, social sciences, business, languages,music, and various engineering fields. The goal is to bring to light the various methods andstrategies that students use to cheat during exams, quizzes, term papers, etc. As a collaborativeeffort, the authors also investigate techniques faculty can use to prevent academic misconduct inboth face-to-face and virtual classrooms.Student viewpoints are also presented as part of this study and are collected through ananonymous survey. Students get a chance to reveal what motivates them to cheat in exams,quizzes

The projectcontinuously exposed students to an unpredictable ethical environment that provided numerous,unforeseen challenges. This unsheltered exposure facilitated an environment where studentswere encouraged to deeply reflect upon ethical issues in a global context. As a result, studentsrecognized that the most appropriate solution to an ethical challenge in a multiculturalenvironment may be one that is found in consensus through interaction and expands beyond theirnatural American perspective.Ethical challenges faced in the Ti Peligre modelDuring the Ti Peligre bridge project, students were faced with numerous unforeseen,multifaceted

Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the

Moreover,the instructor provided detailed assignment questions and requirements that directlytargeted the course objectives covered by the watched videos. This role was reflected Page 23.1193.5slightly by the students’ perceptions to the importance of holding post-video discussion sessions and by their performance on the written assignments. However, the analysis of this role will not be analyzed in depth in this study as it is beyond the main scope. Before responding to the questionnaire
studies corroborate Downey’s claim. For example, Cech20 convincingly demonstrated that,while progressing through the core engineering curriculum, students’ interest in public welfaredeclined. Additionally, in their study on engineering senior design students, Downey & Lucena21illustrated the tendency of such students to resort to deterministic mindsets when approachinghighly social and ambiguous design problems.Though such Downey’s19 recommendation to “rethink and redefine [the technical] core” isinsightful, instructors of engineering science courses find scant resources available to help themimbue social competence and consciousness in engineering science courses. Certainly, Riley22has developed a companion text that includes several
not progress “up” the scale. Gilligan questioned the validity ofKohlberg’s criteria, asserting that girls spoke in different, not inferior, ways about morality. Girls,she found, asked for more information about the context of the situation and hesitated to makemoral judgments based on universal principles. These traits, Gilligan argued, were not signs ofan inferior moral sensibility, but of a different understanding of morality, one based onrelationships and specific situations in “a world comprised of relationships rather than of peoplestanding alone, a world that coheres through human connection rather than through systems ofrules” [1]. For men, she found, “the moral imperative appears rather as an injunction to respectthe rights of others
