Such abalance between theory and practice, in turn, requires a careful handling of two types ofknowledge, which Aristotle called epistēmē, meaning theoretical knowledge, and phronēsis,referring to practical knowledge.4 Explaining the difference between Kant-style deontologicalethics and Mill-style utilitarianism, for example, is the kind of material that feeds the student’sepistēmē. Unfortunately, phronēsis is the kind of knowledge that, by definition, can’t be taught(it takes lots of time and experience), but the use of case studies comes in handy because it tapsinto those bits of practical knowledge and real-world experiences that students have had—or atleast can imagine.Such epistēmē-building material (moral philosophy) should be

Flux Flux of a vector is defined as how much of the vector is going through a given surface. It is usually defined with respect to a given surface. How much of a field goes into the surface? That means (will be demonstrated by pictures) to find how much is perpendicular through the surface. Student would need to practice with radial, circular, direct field. Think of other fields and their flux. Circulation If a field has circulation along a given path, that means the field will have net

Using this framework, Walther et al.

Institutionalization refers to the process bywhich a program is sustainably integrated into the institutional culture and becomes “standardpractice” instead of being viewed as separate or special [1, 2, 3]. Many “new teaching andlearning programs struggle to become integrated into the fabric of the Academy” due to theAcademy’s lack of intentional mechanisms for cultural change [1]. This “wicked problem” of theAcademy’s “resistance to innovation” [1, 4, 5, 6] leading to failure to institutionalize innovationsis common for grant-funded efforts [7].
