intent that these changes will have impacts on improving the culture of the departmentand the educational experience for students. This department is planning on using Scrum as theirprimary mechanism for departmental operations.ScrumScrum is an agile methodology that encourages the collaboration among members of a ScrumTeam in the incremental development of a product [18]. The development emphasized achievinga minimal viable product. This product is developed over a series of Sprints (timeboxes). Sprintscan last one to four weeks long. During a Sprint the Scrum Teams works on items from a productbacklog that lead to the release of the product. The product backlog is generated by productowner. Each backlog item is prioritized for its value and

The main objective of the work-in-progress(WIP) is to develop a methodology to: (a) automatically extract assertions of perceived quality ofteaching using machine learning techniques. (b) provide a mechanism to compare instructors basedon the extracted assertion/qualities. The contributions of the paper are (a) methodology to mineteaching evaluation and (b) an open-source tool to facilitate educational establishments executeempirical studies and students perform exploratory analytics on the teaching evaluations. The toolsupports a wide variety of data formats, does not require any domain knowledge for its
be just goin there and repeat what I already know to the students, so mechanical. And the thing is thatafter I hear so many people - everybody’s issues - I feel that teaching itself is a lively thing. It’salive. Teaching is not just mechanics. It’s really dynamic. So, I think that’s the most - that is, Ithink, something influenced me most. And because of this change, this viewpoint change, I thinkmy way of approaching students is also different.We suggest our lessons learned paper be presented as a lightning talk in order to supportdiscussion with other participants who are also developing communities of practice.References[1] E.
