It is also noteworthy that students largely reported that the elements designed to supportsuccessful navigation through the course – knowing how they would be assessed by the instructor, thecourse design to learn or study the materials even if remote, navigation of the course site, and knowingwhy the class focused on the topics presented – provided much help or great help to their learning.Designing a course to be easily navigated is particularly important for remote learners.[25] Multiplestudents pointed out in midterm feedback that choice was not prohibitively stressful because of twofactors: the

With only a few exceptions, the Lab is equipped with a standard array ofmaker equipment. This includes:  Computer controlled machines typically featured in maker labs, to include six 3D printers, two laser cutters, four routers ranging in capability from large format woodwork to circuit board fabrication;  Standard hand tools (hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, foam cutting tools, etc.);  Standard manually operated power tools (drill, sander, etc.);  Several manually operated powered benchtop tools (mitre saw, small milling machine

The work begins in the following section with an overview of each of the ten instructionalunits that comprise the program. In particular, lesson objectives, presentation summaries, projectdescriptions, methods of learning assessment (homework assignments, project debriefings, etc.),and unit assessments, completed by the instructors in retrospect, are presented. In Section 3 asummary of student assessment data, which was obtained during the 2005 and 2006 sessions, ispresented and the work concludes in

The MaterialBalances and Stoichiometry course is a large interdisciplinary course that is required ofchemical, biological and environmental engineers in our program. In this course, I utilize aWeb-based Interactive Science and Engineering (WISE) learning tool developed here at OSU.The WISE learning tool allows the instructor to pose questions to the class that probe forconceptual understanding and supports a variety of student response types including: multiplechoice answers, multiple choice with short answer follow-up, numerical answers, short answers,and Likert-scale surveys. The tool provides formative assessment of student learning, allows forimmediate feedback by the instructor

bias in the measures of these latent variables 6 . MIMICmodeling is especially useful for current research for the following reasons: (1) it worksbetter for small samples 7,8,9 , as opposed to other CFA methods, such as multisample CFA,because there is no need to divide the sample into different groups (e.g., gender orethnicity groups) which requires the sample size be large enough in each group foraccurate parameter estimates, (2) the regular factor analysis analyzes the covariancematrix involving only the response variables, which might not capture the differenceacross background groups 9,10 . The inclusion of background variables provides MIMICmodeling with important extra information, which enables the researchers to investigate

As indicated previously, most experienced college teachers areprobably “Competent.”Although achieving the “Complete Exemplar” ought to be a teaching aspiration, Lowman furthernotes that exemplary instructors are also identified as teachers who excel at one of the twodimensions and are at least adequate in the other. The emphasis for “Exemplary Lecturers” is onmotivating students through their passion for the subject matter, and these teachers are especiallyskilled within large introductory classes. On the other hand, the focus for “ExemplaryFacilitators” is on relationships and inspiring high quality independent work. These teachers areespecially skilled within small more advanced classes.

system. A six-level system would be A through F withoutplusses or minuses. Grading levels may be easier to design using a numerical scale, for example,four-level grading system is 1-4 and a ten-level grading system is 1-10. For simple questions,having two levels (all right/all wrong or pass/fail) is sufficient. For more complex questions,there are more opportunities for students to make errors and more levels are needed to accuratelygauge assessment. In general, the grading process is faster with fewer grading levels.In large classes, dealing with grading complaints after the exam can be time-consuming andfrustrating. Giving a small amount of points for trying to solve a larger problem, instead of zero,can reduce the complaints. It has little

Over the past twenty years, a growing number of informal programs havebeen created to take advantage of this opportunity while addressing the need to increaseparticipation in science and engineering. In addition to large blocks of time, these informalprograms have other unique benefits over formal schooling. Informal learning experiences offerlow-stakes assessments and a greater variety of topics to explore (school curricula tends to focusnarrowly on math and literacy due to testing policies). They have also been shown to moredeeply engage participants, better encourage direct interaction with real-world phenomena, andbuild on prior knowledge and interests5
