student learning outcomes. This paper describes a faculty training protocoldesigned to demonstrate (a) how to assess (score) student artifacts with a rubric; in other words,effective use of rubrics, and (b) how insights gained from the assessment can guide programimprovement by identifying weaknesses and suggesting solution paths. For example, effectiveassessment can be used to determine if a new assignment is needed or if an existing assignmentneeds to be modified. The protocol is also an effective means for training faculty into thenuances of a particular learning outcome (and its associated rubric) and for gaining insights intopossible deficiencies in the rubric that should be addressed.This paper will describe the training protocol.

The norming phase included affirming our shared goals,developing an implementation plan for the Network, and finalizing the draft proposal you arecurrently reading.The final phase of team building, performing, is where the DCN stands today. The relationshipsbuilt over the past three months have left a strong dense network that is ready to perform byenacting the vision set forth in this proposal.DCN made significant strides in its first year. Some tangible outcomes include: a. Student boot camp on Innovation – Lawrence Tech hosted the first student boot camp in collaboration with the Ford Foundation. b. Faculty enrichment workshops – Lawrence Tech hosted a workshop on the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to incorporate the

Likert scale analysis was carried out and mode values have been plotted onthe x-axis. Referring to the bar chart shown in Appendix B, one can draw these conclusions. None of the characteristics observed scored the maximum possible likert scalescore of 5. We should also point out the fact that none of the characteristics observedscored the minimum possible likert scale score of 1.

Machine maintenance is estimated to be 15%of the machine cost each year for a 5-year life.The total estimated annual costs for the processing equipment, including stover material,operation and maintenance, plus purchase amortization range from $6,060 to $10,590 USD(503,000 – 879,000 KSh). In the Net Annual Benefit table, Table 1 below, this cost is comparedto (a) the avoided cost of diesel fuel and (b) the avoided cost of grid electrical power.The total cost to purchase and fabricate this demonstration processing machine is estimated as$3,800 USD.
