Engineering Education, 2013 The Impact of Clickers on Your Classroom and Your CareerAbstractStudent response units or clickers enhance student learning by providing immediate feedback toboth students and the instructor. This feedback can be an extremely valuable resource forteaching. In addition clickers increase student engagement with all the material within a class.Not surprisingly, every year there is more quantitative evidence of the value of clickers andricher descriptions of how clickers can be used.This presentation adds to that evidence and those descriptions, but the paper’s focus is a broaderperspective. First, the paper discusses how and why clickers can qualitatively change theclassroom. Second, how the change can positively

Instructors assign andgrade homework to help students learn the material for better overall exam performance. This isthe conventional belief in most of the academic community. It is only logical to think thatpractice improves performance in academic studies as it does in many other endeavors.In 2002, Peters et al.1 studied the correlation between homework and exam performance in anOperations Management course.

While solid connectionscurrently exist, there is still work to be done to drive distance student linkages to the extendedcampus, school, and university communities.

Students’ Financial Profile More than 76% of the students at Morgan State University receive some sort of financial aid, scholarship and/or loans without which most of them would not be able to pursue college or higher education. Those who do not receive aid, or receive partial aid, have to work long hours to pay for their education and living expenses. The negative impact of working hours on student performance [4] is well established and documented in educational research. Although the studies are mixed[1] regarding the impact of work on students’ academic performance based on motivation, our experience has indicate that working students demonstrate different levels of

In PBL, students are tasked with aproblem scenario and must do independent, self-directed study before returning to the group todiscuss and refine their acquired knowledge. Such group learning facilitates not only theacquisition of knowledge but also several other desirable attributes such as communication skills,teamwork, problem solving, independent responsibility for learning, sharing information andrespect for others.4PBL is a

their requiredmajor courses. In the junior year, disciplinary grounding in a student’s major continues whiledisciplinary grounding in the other major (ECE for SYS majors, SYS for ECE majors) tapers off.The tapering is due to an increased focus on integration in the junior year. The focus of thejunior year is two LEP classes (one each term) in which teams work to design and build actualsystems. Finally, in the senior year, students continue to concentrate on integration whilecompleting capstone projects designed specifically for LEP teams.Purpose/need and critical reflection are incorporated into the LEP curricula through the LEPLearning Community.
