-Whitney U test reveals that there is nosignificant difference between the medians of PSVT:R (p = 0.755) or SBST (p = 0.662) ofENGR and ENGT students. At the time of data collection for this study, the ENGR and ENGTstudents finished their third and fifth semesters and accumulated, on average, 50 and 80 credithours respectively out of 126 credit hours. For PSVT:R scores, this result further confirmed theceiling effect of this psychometric test [21] because “the test is relatively easy for thispopulation” [15]. For SBST, it could be possible that ENGT students have higher and moreconsistent test scores than ENGR students because they studied SOM course with more cross-sectional views than ENGR students do with STA course.“Is there any significant

We do not claim that the style of assessmentused in the current experiments is unique, but it is uncommon in today’s classrooms.The main goal of these experiments was to determine if a change in assessment strategies wouldlead to better study strategies and thus improved student performance. The results strongly supportthis assertion.2. Modified Course DesignThe course design and methods used in this study were based on a series of informal discussionsand interviews with students, which revealed the following behaviors: 1.
