sometimes been described as a four month interview. Employers aregiven the opportunity to evaluate the “new hire” over a several month period rather than thestandard interview procedures. The company is not under any obligation to hire the student, andis therefore able to evaluate these potential employees virtually risk-free [20]. Work ethic,technical competence and attitudes can be more easily assessed over a semester or summer ascompared to a one hour interview. Employers are able to offer jobs to those that have proventhemselves to be a good fit for the company [21] and often at a greatly reduced hiring cost. “Theaverage cost of hiring a college recruit that has had internship experience is almost half that ofhiring an experienced individual

This time, I requested the help of the course developer so that wecould uncover a mechanism to capture the students, a way to have them ‘use’ WebCT when NOT in theclassroom; I see this as ‘learning time’.

Uponscrolling over student answers, the instructor can quickly adjust lecture content to topics signaledby the students as being more unclear or more difficult to understand. JiTT involves morestudent work, as students are guided to read anticipated lecture content in advance and to answerquestions. In order to assess the appropriateness of JiTT at different class levels and acrossdisciplines, the method was implemented in two physics, one software engineering/computerscience, and one composition classes.

These implements are used for both in class learning and forhomework assignments. As described by Pytel, in the “all-note” method, the instructordiscusses his lecture notes after providing them in their entirety to the students for theclass period and the “teaching note” lies somewhere between the no-note and all-noteapproach. From the previous conversation with grade school faculty, it is also apparentthat for in-class assigned problems and some of the homework assessment, the teachersread out the answers and generally the students verify

] Although the assessment criteria of future engineers’ training inuniversitiesareadjusted to include practice-oriented assessment, they still are shiftedtowards the assessment of knowledgewith a greater extent than needed. In all fairness,it has to be told that in recent years the so called “competence approach” includingdevelopment of future specialists’ necessary competencies is being usedwhendeveloping the curricula. However, when the competencies are interpreted as areadiness to demonstrate ability in solving these or that production problems, but not areal ability to solve them in real production conditions, employers’ expectations arenot met.

Why did they both fail?” They said that while both designswere clearly over-engineered, no one seemed to push back when it seemed obvious they wereheading for a cliff. “We do this all the time!”, added one the students. They also observed thatthe simulations helped point out to the students that leadership and communication acrossgeographically diverse teams is difficult and needs to be experienced to learn how
