Emotions aresystematically affected by the knowledge and goals of the learner, as well as vice versa.” Theygo on to explain that a balanced system is important when learning through failure. If this formof learning is uncontrolled, students will either be in states of, “(a) engagement/flow as theypursue the superordinate learning goal of mastering the material in the learning environment or(b

We assigned values of1= No, 2= Maybe, and 3= Yes to the survey question answers and analyzed the average scoresfor each question between the two groups (A/B in pre-requisite course vs. C or below in pre-requisite course). A t-test was used to test for statistical significance. The results (Figure 5)showed that students who came into the class with a C or below felt that the tiered mentoringproject gave them more expertise (p = .02) and more confidence (p = .01) in the topics theyworked on, compared to students who came into the class with As or Bs.

These questions will ask about the students’ perceptions ofstudy abroad and probe why those that did not participate did not pursue overseas study: 1. Were you made aware of study abroad opportunities? 2. Did you study abroad during your time at Villanova? a. Would you describe the experience as positive? Explain. b. What type of program did you participate in (summer, semester)? 3. If you did not study abroad, indicate why you did not (for example, you may not have had an interest, your GPA may have been too low to qualify, etc.).The academic indicators have been studied and these

As a result of this policy change andthe implementation of new master’s-level general accreditation criteria, effective in the fall of2008, the alternate path (B + M-ABET & E) has become a viable route to BOK attainment.While new BOK1-compliant accreditation criteria were being finalized and implemented, itbecame apparent that significant updates to BOK1 itself would be required.
