In addition, in order to get a large set of examples, students have been givenextra credit assignments that encourage them to explore and report on real-life topic-focusedinstances/activities. These assignments motivate students to think critically and also help themto better comprehend topics in DSP.

One proposed method is toadjust the course GPA based on the median class GPA. This is consistent with the typicalquestions included on most recommendations that faculty complete for students to be admitted tograduate school. A reference is asked to assess the applicant in relation to a peer group, which isoften the group of students earning the same degree at the university. The reference is oftenasked to rank

The numberof iterations is dependent on the current state of the assigned student population. In a singleiteration, the first step is to sort the students in order of priority from highest to lowest. Afterprioritization, the algorithm moves sequentially through three stages of assignment conditions,namely: student-professor agreement, externally funded assignment, and internally fundedassignment. After all three stages, the algorithm assesses which projects have met and have notbeen assigned their minimum number of in-discipline students. The algorithm then selects amaximum 5 such projects based on several

The data from the student surveys was also used to create a moreformal assessment of student knowledge gains. Positive results were seen in both categories, with unanimousstudent approval and a small median increase in test scores.

awindow into the mind of the problem solver, we must recall that it is still a social activity wherethe interviewer and interviewee are engaged in a dialog and react to each other. Specificallywith regard to motivation, our findings suggest interviewers can unintentionally impactparticipant motivation, and participant motivation can be difficult to discern when looking atorganic utterances or specific questions about motivation. As a result, researchers must becareful in interpreting expressions of motivation from the interviews regardless of the wayquestions are asked or not asked.As previously noted, this limitation in interpretation is similar to the cited limitation of clinicalinterviews being used for assessing conceptual understanding where
