The grading rubrics for the written reportand oral presentation were given to the students to assess the team’s performance. The phasereports must be turned in on time to report the team’s progress. Students need to follow thesuggestions on the graded phase reports to improve the subsequent updates. In addition to theinstructor’s grading rubric, peer evaluation and the team evaluation sheets were used todetermine each team’s final grades as well. Their oral and written communications, ability towork in team, problem solving, information collection, and project management skills have beenimproved in IGL environment.Current Curriculum and Course StructureThe goal of

However, the biggest growthoccurred at the outcomes that were directly related to the project experience. This result isconsistent with our multi-year assessment findings since 2010, which validated that CPBL doespositively impact the development of domain-specific self-efficacy to

To achievecontinuous learning improvement, concept group exercises operating at basic, moderate andadvanced levels were developed and routinely administered after every four lectures. Theseconcept exercises were developed with the non-equivalent control design without taking intoaccount the group influencing variables. In basic concept group exercise, a slightly higher scorewas observed as compared with advanced level group concept testing. The assessment of theseexercises revealed overall improvement in students learning ability, which was reflected in anaverage posttest score of 45.4/50.

It is tempting to rely primarily on teacher surveys, but ourexperience is that these surveys tend to be very positive (and in an undifferentiated way) and notparticularly aligned with what actually happens in the classrooms. We utilize a multi-prongedapproach to assessment that is rigorous, cost-effective, and aligned with our goals

One of our problems with the present generation is that students tend not to be asphysically active as they were in previous generations. We have fewer “farm boys” and “shadetree mechanics” coming in as freshmen. They may never have siphoned water, played with“friction motor” cars, or gyroscopes.
