teachers do, rather than what students think. Instead, they reframe formative assessment asresponsive teaching, an instructional approach in which teachers elicit student thinking around aparticular topic, notice and interpret the disciplinary substance contained within students’thinking, and then respond in real-time in order to support students’ disciplinary behaviors.Responsive teaching has been studied for some time in K-12 mathematics and science education,and it has recently become a focus in K-12 engineering education. However, to our knowledgeno research has investigated responsive teaching in undergraduate engineering education.

This makes it verydifficult to isolate and assess these topics. A common approach is to create one course to carrymany of the topics, or heap most of the assessment categories into the capstone course.

For instance, they learn theimportance of using hard data to quantify success or failure. Other disciplines, especially in thesocial sciences, focus additional attention on normative and substantive issues.
