An experiential learning framework engenders knowledge creationthrough the “transformation of experience” 18. Immersed in a community, students becomeaware of the technical and non-technical impacts of their designs first-hand. They are exposed tothe implicit complications – on economic, societal, and environmental levels- and may need toadjust their designs to achieve the proper balance. The service learning design process naturallyencourages a holistic problem-solving approach and potentially heightens student awareness ofthe non-technical

Approximately ninety percent of studentswere strongly agreed (60.5%) or agreed (27.9%) that self-grading provided them an opportunityto learn from their errors on homework assignments and apply those lessons to futureassessments, such as exams. Only a small percentage of students (11.6%) did not agree that self-grading was a beneficial learning strategy. No students strongly disagreed with the idea that self-grading could be a valuable learning tool.
