The models will show the significant factors with thecategories of Instructor Interaction and Feedback, Classroom Environment, and Modes ofTeaching for overall student satisfaction. The significant factors were then implemented into atest

out how the professional uses the specific method beingcovered in class. Essentially, they are asking, “How do you do this at General Motors?” as anexample. After each of the five conference calls, the student group writes a reflective paperabout what they have learned. This method differs from the traditional case study approachbecause the students do not just read what is written, but can ask initial questions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what is important by the inflection of the mentor’svoice and hearing the mentor convey it in his/her own words.This research is for the purpose of sharing best practice with other instructors and understandingthe key factors to the program’s success. With this preliminary

strategic planning and continuous improvementacross colleges, departments, and academic degree programs.BackgroundThe Tennessee Public Agenda focus is on increasing statewide educational attainment byimplementing Tennessee’s Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA), enacted in 2010.(“Complete College TN Act of 2010”) CCTA also acknowledges limitations on state funding forhigher education. The Agenda reflects the importance of the state’s educational system forleveraging economic development. Specific CCTA provisions include establishing: Higher education funding, in part, based on outcomes that include degree production, research funding, student remediation, transfer and graduation rates, and job placements. Each institution has uniquely

of statistical concepts, enhanced by the necessary technical foundations intheory and programming.IntroductionCritical thinking is an important skill for engineering students and is the central theme of ourcourse redesign in one of our core Industrial Engineering (IE) courses. According to philosopherPeter Facione, critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, orcommunication, as a guide to belief and action [4]. In layman’s terms, critical thinking isreflectively thinking through and making decisions about a problem using logic and

time helping to fill a community need. Service-learning combinescommunity engagement, critical reflection, reciprocity, and public dissemination in an effort tocreate effective partnerships2-3.Studies have shown that service-learning is a high-impact practice that increase student effort ina course through the process of solving real-world problems4-6. The application of service-learning to the classroom allows for students to participate in “active, challenging, learningexperiences, experience diversity, interact with faculty and peers about substantive matters,receive more frequent feedback, and discover the relevance of their learning through real-worldexperiences.”2 Additional benefits of service-learning have been found related to

Acreditación)In addition to the assessment results obtained, the outcome leader uses input from three differentsources for the analysis: the course card, the course syllabus, and the reflective memo. Thecourse card contains the key competencies to be developed, the general objectives and thegeneral learning strategies. The course syllabus contains the detailed course learning goals andlearning units. The reflective memo contains the faculty self-assessment report about learningstrategies and explains how learning strategies support the achievement of competencies andlearning goals. The student outcome leader and faculty involved in the courses associated withthe outcome discuss the assessment findings and identify improvement opportunities and

rating of user 𝑥 on topic 𝑠 and 𝑟𝑦,𝑠 is the rating of user 𝑦 on topic 𝑠, 𝑠𝑥,𝑦indicates the items that users 𝑥 and 𝑦 co-experienced. Then rating is computed by a weightedaverage of the nearest neighbors using the following formula7,8: ∑𝑦∈𝑆𝑥𝑦 (𝑟𝑦,𝑠 −𝑟̅𝑥 )𝑠𝑖𝑚(𝑥,𝑦)𝑟𝑥,𝑠 = 𝑟̅𝑥 + ∑𝑦∈𝑆𝑥𝑦 𝑠𝑖𝑚(𝑥,𝑦) ,where, 𝑟̅𝑥 is the average rating of user 𝑥. Two assumptions were used in the algorithm: (1) theprofessor was interested in relating the frequency of the topics on the websites to the OPCcourse, and (2) the frequency of the topics on the websites reflected the technological andstakeholders’ need changes and the professor agreed with the existence of the
