/ Laboratory) Retrospection Reflection Examination (Co-op Experience) Figure 1 Instructional Model of UnLectureMethodsImplementation of UnLecture in an engineering classroom requires meticulous assessment ofseveral aspects of the course. First, class time and student workload for existing traditionallecture modules and other course components such as laboratory projects need to be re-evaluatedin order to make time for the UnLecture activities. This is important because UnLecture requiresa reasonable amount of time and work, both inside and outside of the classroom.

While we ask students to rate how much theyhave learned from the activity, we know that students self-assessments are inherently limited8.Asking students to summarize what they’ve learned from the activity may ameliorate thisproblem and allow us to compare actual concepts learned to self-assessment.AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by NSF Awards DGE-0947936, IIS-0644151, and the Graduate ResearchFellowship.

Similar to whatdiSessa argues, assessment is suited to measuring how students' understand pieces ofinformation. Much of the literature used to provide evidence of equilibrium as a difficultconcept across domains rely on a knowledge-in-pieces structure to isolate and understand howstudents' misconceived specific concepts, whether the concept is equilibrium itself or a relatedconcept. However, the learning process described in the following model relies heavily on atheory-like framework of conceptual change including knowledge or attitudes

uncommon to have multiple learningpreferences. Research (Tanner and Allen 2004)4 has hypothesized that the high number ofstudents leaving math and science is in part due to the information delivery methods that createroadblocks to understanding.In the late 1970s there was a surge of interest in assessing learning preferences, and between thenand now many researchers developed typologies that assess learning style preferences (Hawkand Shah 2007)5. One of the most common methodologies is VARK, discussed in the 1995paper by Neil Fleming titled “I’m different not dumb; Modes of presentation (VARK) in thetertiary classroom.” Fleming is one of the developers of VARK.
