studentshave reported skipping buying a required textbook because of the cost. This can present a have-and-have-not scenario for students, putting those without the funds to purchase textbooks at adisadvantage. Backing this claim up, a study by Colvard et al. [5] found that replacing traditionaltextbooks with OER resulted in lower DFW rates (percentage of students getting a D, an F, orwithdrawing from a course) among Pell Eligible students in the study. OER can not only helpstudents save money but can also help narrow the achievement gap between well-off studentsand disadvantaged students. A 2017 survey of over 2,700 higher education faculty summarizedboth the challenges facing OER, the low awareness, and significant perceived barriers toadopting, but

She expressed a desire for the COE to host a social event where faculty members couldexplain to students’ families what engineering is and the demands of being an engineeringstudent. The student reported that she was concerned that her mother’s lack of understandingcould impact her younger sibling and steer her away from pursuing engineering.I’m trying to encourage my sister because she’s 13, and she’s like she wants to do mechanicalengineering, so I’m trying to just tell her from experience, because if

The general engineeringprogram has encountered significant and ongoing enrollment growth, more than doubling in sizewhile continuing to use the same room dedicated almost 30 years ago. New universitydevelopment plans are expected to increase enrollment further, and necessitate changes inpreparation for a new planned dedicated space. The home department actively and continuouslyseeks to improve the first-year curriculum, and the leadership of the space must engage in thosediscussions and be able to adapt. Additionally, the challenges associated with COVID-19 andsubsequent ongoing supply chain issues have created the need for multiple process adjustments.In response to these challenges and

The focus of PhysicsJam is to give the students the necessary mathematical based tools in the context of physics, andintroductory physics concepts that they will need to be successful from the start of their physicscourse. From discussion with faculty at Cañada College the two major barriers that theyperceived their students have are a poor understanding of trigonometry, which translated to alack of understanding of physics concepts presented in the course, and general trepidation whenapproaching the subject.

growing as online learning proliferates [9]. During COVID-19 we saw a surge inthe use of remote proctoring as restrictions were in place that prevented in-person testing [10],[11]. This surge in users, both on the student and faculty end, has highlighted concerns about theapplication of remote proctoring. One of these concerns is the effect of remote proctoring onstudents [10], [12]. There is work that indicates this form of assessment increases negativeemotions experienced by students such as testing anxiety [10], [12] which may impact students’performance. As such, our goal is to increase the trustworthiness of remote exams while alsocreating a more comfortable testing environment for students.Remote proctoring services discourage cheating

The new course makes use of computer-aided scheduling and otherproject management techniques. Students expressed concerns about the difficulty of workingrelatively independently on an open-ended design, and on the more performance-based evaluationwhich the course involved. To help with evaluation, a computer tool was developed by anothergroup of researchers1 5 to track project management and team performance information, includingindividual and team time spent, action items and milestones completed, peer evaluation of teammembers and private comments

Second, the student must be willing to develop and use goodproblem-solving skills. This will likely require that he or she learn to use a new process andinclude in this process the necessary internal documentation. Despite the time and effortrequired to develop and use these skills, they are critical to the student's success.VII.
