[5].In engineering mechanics courses such as statics, dynamics and mechanics of materials, researchhas shown promise for using concept maps as advance organizers [6], [7]. Although no researchhas been performed specifically in the context of engineering mechanics courses, one wouldexpect concept mapping to be an effective reflective learning activity in such courses, as theyhave been successfully used in similar courses such as physics [8].2.3 How Are Concept Maps Created?The process of creating concept maps, as outlined by Joseph Novak, is as follows [1]. 1. When creating an expert-generated concept map, locate an expert. This is someone who is very familiar with the content and is an expert problem solver in the domain. 2. Set

getting the correctanswer. Students regularly scored very high grades on homework for both courses, and low home-work grades were indicative of students not submitting or not completing the homework. Examswere graded on demonstration of understanding course content (correct approach and implemen-tation and getting the correct answer). Exam grades were more variable, and were more indicativeof student understanding of course material. The homework grades of students who did and didnot attend the instructor-led study sessions, each week, were compared with t-test analysis. Forexams, a linear regression analysis was used to model the relationship between students’ examimprovement, their improvement ratio (IR), between subsequent exams, and their

before progressing to thenext course. The traditional model of success and progression in higher education (i.e., the notion ofpassing a course based upon a single final grade) does not support this model. However, the informationfrom the mastery grading approach could be viewed as a portfolio of student achievement in that course.The student portfolio provides insights into what was learned, what challenged the students, and the gapsthat still exist after each course in a student’s problem-solving approach. The development of thisportfolio across multiple courses creates a broad picture of each student’s ability in mechanics that couldbe carried forward as a vehicle for tracking their success in each course.

One of thegoals of this study is to determine if the recitation course is effective and a proper use ofdepartment resources. One problem with this approach to improving passing rate and retention,is that it can be hard to make recitation effective on a large scale if only a few students sign upfor the course and only a percentage of those really participate.
