One new assignment feature this year asked students to log their visits tovarious databases, describe which were useful, and track the keywords they employed. Librarianand faculty partnerships will next year consider appropriate means for documenting indicators ofinformation fluency through bibliographic examination.For an example of graduate-level assessment, the University of X Librarians, in a graduatechemistry course

This more personalized approach with an emphasis on students' individualresearch topic is considered to be better suited for graduate students [10].Until Winter 2014, the professor taught the critical analysis of a scientific paper. In Fall 2014, atthe professor's request, this part was transferred to the librarians, who have been in charge of allthe pedagogical contents of the workshop ever since. However, at Polytechnique Montréal, onlya professor can be the coordinator of a credited course or workshop. Thus, the professor remainsin charge of the workshop, but he plays more of an advisory role and intervenes only in the eventof a disagreement or specific problems, such as issues regarding grading.ING6900 continued to be mandatory for

Both faculty and peers can marginalizeindividual students in a variety of ways, including through assignment of work tasks, validationof work tasks, validation of ideas or perspectives, and the nature of the group task itself.First, at the onset of an activity, task assignment biases can often result from unconsciousexpectations about who may be more (or less) suited to certain tasks.7, 8 While each team isdifferent, with a different set of identities and personalities, there is also

Lastly, our work with undergraduatesindicates that many graduate students may be entering Masters and PhD programs lacking in avariety of research and professional skills.

Stevens had become a SPEE member in 1908, along with ten other Pratt facultyand staff, probably in anticipation of the 1909 meeting, which was held at Columbia University,the Pratt Institute and the United Engineering Societies Building.
