particular charactercount result in “discourse” with too little understanding or listening. Rather, ad hominem attacksand warring factions dominate[5] where diplomatic longform debate once reigned[6]. Ubiquitousadvertising has shaped a visual medium commonly applied to topics that inspire the mostextreme emotions with little concern for nuanced, propositional truth[7]. While intended tomaintain remote student engagement, COVID accelerated a transition in education to post-literate teaching methods built on passive video[8].The K-12 public education system has contributed to the cultural move away from the writtenword through a focus on specified learning outcomes rather than harder-to-assess, classically-liberal educational goals[9].

in real time.This paper provides the new STEM educator with relevant background about how undergraduatestudents approach source evaluation, both traditionally and today. This work summarizesexisting research to help new STEM educators understand and situate themselves among bestpractices in teaching source evaluation and information literacy to undergraduate students. Mostimportantly, it provides classroom-ready collaborative activities (some writing-based, alldiscussion-based) for a STEM educator to help students learn and implement source evaluationtechniques in a manner that is engaging and efficient.As students progress through the activities, they—and the new STEM educator—learn not onlyhow to recognize a credible source in general (e.g

]. Likewise, through the use of course modulescovering topics on self-directed learning [9]-[10]; problem-based curricula [11]-[12];engineering projects [13]; journaling [14]; and reflective writing [15], instructors have monitoredand assessed changes in students’ SDL skills. These approaches were described in studies suchas Fellows et al. [3] that entailed a range of classroom and project activities designed accordingto the Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Model [16]. During the activities, students’SDL ability was assessed in Four stages - Dependent (stage 1), Involved, Interested, and Self-Directed (stage 4). Ulseth [17] explored the experiences of students taught using Problem-BasedLearning (PBL) to gain in-depth understanding of the

attentive to looking forconceptual connections between notes. Once the notes have been connected to larger ideas, thenthe author can begin to write these ideas and share the insight.Personal knowledge management (PKM) may be the broadest term that has been used todescribe these processes, however, I only encountered the term last fall. Second brain seems tobe a more recent and popular synonym for PKM and is widely used by internet content creators.PKM goes beyond merely organizing research and literature to other aspects of larger projects.For example, some academics include information for courses and committee work in theirPKM.There are many models for PKM.

mechanical engineering courses offered better learning outcomescompared to traditional and online course delivery [2].A research study by Duan and Bassett shared experiences and lessons learned during theexploration of hybridization between classroom and online teaching in mechanical engineering,suggesting that this blended approach effectively combines the advantages and avoidsdisadvantages of both modalities. The current assessment indicates it provides a promisingalternative for teaching undergraduate courses.

through the primary learning management system (LMS).[13]There has been a shift in our perception regarding attendance and student performance in thispost-pandemic era. Traditionally, attendance was seen as crucial, with studies showing itspositive correlation with academic performance [14-16]. However, some research suggests thatmandatory attendance may only sometimes benefit students. Studies on medical students foundno correlation between academic performance [17] and the number of hours spent studying,challenging the notion of compulsory attendance[18]. Moreover, mandatory attendance has beenassociated with various benefits, including fostering social connections, facilitatingcommunication, promoting interaction with instructors, and

literature review will serve as the basis fordeveloping strategies to ensure that students are able to thrive in a learning environment wherethe focus is on learning, going beyond numeric or similar representations of academicperformance.To answer the questions posed above, we conducted a scoping review of literature on students’perceptions of grades. We used a broad search parameter that may yield literature from both K-12 and higher education spaces to establish the general conversation on grades from students’perspectives. We followed Arksey & O’Malley’s (2005) five-stage framework for conductingscoping literature reviews as a methodology to identify possibly relevant articles and filterthrough which answer our research question to include in

curricula donot often specifically target these skills (Pinelli et al., 1996). While several studies have beendedicated to understanding how technical written communication skills of engineering studentsmay be improved, especially through lab reports (Hilgers et al., 1999; Goldsmith et al., 2019;Goldsmith, 2018; Wallwey et al., 2021), a cursory review of the available literature reveals alimited number of studies that focus on alternatives to lab reports and their effectiveness. Theobjectives of this article are to provide a brief survey of these studies, and to serve as a quickreference for those lab instructors who wish to diversify the form of lab assignments in theircourses. Alternatives to lab reports discussed in this article are poster and

Exceeding Standards - must go above and beyond meeting A 4 standards or is perfectWhile the instructor liked the idea of grading on standards and has kept it as part of thegrade, it was difficult to compute the grade, especially the final grade, solely onstandards. For starters, the standard grades should be averaged rather than expressed as apercentage or as a percentage of a total. Canvas will only calculate the percentage of atotal and not average assignment grades in a rubric. This method of

potential of GTAs as higher education practitioners is often hindered by a lack of teaching opportunities beyond grading, demonstration, and supervision. Training and support systems for their preparation are also limited [4]. GTAs are expected to perform various pedagogical practices, including lab instruction, lab demonstrations, and grading student work while often experiencing minimal opportunities to fully comprehend the implications and rationale of best practices behind these activities. When opportunities for learning to teach do exist, they often fail to address the specific needs of different disciplines, despite the clear necessity for discipline-specific preparation [5]. Effective educators must possess not only subject matter knowledge

they shared with the other students. The premise of the seminar was to engage studentsin design metacognition, specifically, thinking about design processes with the goal ofdeveloping their “ideal” design process (or signature) by the end of the seminar. The idea of anideal design signature was scaffolded with a new lens to interpret design each week. Thisincluded the first three weeks on how to capture and represent design processes (1. What countsas design?, 2. Qualitative coding, 3. How to capture design); weeks four through eight ondifferent lenses for “seeing” design (4. How to visually represent design, 5.

decades, microplastics in marine and freshwater ecosystems havebeen extensively studied due to their bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms, eitherdirectly [4] or via trophic transfer [5], acting as pollutant carriers [6-9] like heavymetals and hydrocarbons [10], the toxicity of plastic additives [11] and potentialexposure to humans via the food chain [12]. Through our experiments, we identified that stormwater runoff, especiallyfrom urban areas, acts as a vector to transport land-based microplastics toreceiving waters, and their composition varied with different land uses [13].Green infrastructures are being installed in urban areas as part of stormwatermanagement. Upon investigation, we identified that microplastics areaccumulated in rain

researchers have long been siloed into their own areas of research expertise, such thatcollaborations often occur with researchers in the same or adjacent fields. Yet, the challengesfacing the world require solutions that do not exist within one disciplinary silo and requirecreative solutions that reach across the boundaries of science, technology, engineering, arts, andmathematics (STEAM) disciplines. One way creativity is sparked is through interdisciplinarycollaborations. When conflicting perspectives on a given topic are presented, people seek toovercome these conflicts and through this process, creative solutions can emerge. However,interdisciplinary collaborations are often complicated due to differences regarding disciplinarylanguages, lack of

SuccessBuilding a successful research team often involves skills and activities not directly related toacademic achievement. It is important to build a supportive lab culture, one that fosterscollaboration rather than competition. It is good for students to feel invested in each other’swork. Celebrating important events can help, like birthdays, paper acceptances, and the passingof milestone exams. Even lab cleanup or hosting events together (e.g., visiting dignitaries orfuture students) can help build a sense of camaraderie.Some activities beyond academic ones are related to personal growth of the mentors, i.e., how domentors find mentors for themselves. Others are related to student (and faculty) well-being:work-life balance, team building, celebrating
