Assessment suggests thata significant portion of faculty (both male and female) do not feel that the campuscurrently has an adequate number of worklife policies, with less (15%) female facultyversus male (54%) faculty agreeing that existing policies are sufficient. Similarpercentages (15% for female faculty and 46% for male faculty) felt that faculty in theirdepartment are well-informed about campus worklife policies. Interviews suggest thatsome campus administrators are concerned that the lack of worklife policies may impedetheir ability to attract and retain new faculty, especially

All ideas are centralized in a database that is accessible to all faculty and deans through an “eCollege” URL. 2. Course Sequence Coordination - Key courses have been identified to support the Senior Project course. For example, all students are required to take a rigorous course in Project Management in the semester immediately preceding the Senior Project course so that they can hit the ground running. 3.

This is extremely important because the acquisition of theoreticalknowledge does not necessarily guarantees the likelihood of success in applied settings.Instructors should also implement continuous assessment throughout the semester to monitorstudents’ retention or maintenance of new concepts. The ultimate goal of teaching is to prepareour students to be successful professionals capable of using the acquired knowledge in theircareer.A second practical implication refers to the use of a web-based polling system during instruction.Our data indicates that students perceived the use of a polling system as motivating, facilitatingacquisition and generalization of newly taught concepts

This was done ten times for each BU/tagconfiguration. Each time the results were assessed based on the following scale: A “0” would be assigned if the program did not detect the tag at all. A “0.5” would be assigned if the tag was detected on the out OR return trip, and A “1” would be assigned if the tag was detected on the out AND return trip.The results were then averaged and a score assigned for each trial as a percentage.
