. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

All five studentsof the team received class grade A or B while the course success was defined a grade C orhigher. In addition, a class survey administered to the team students showed the students' fullsatisfaction with the course on how their learning of multidisciplinary mechatronics engineeringimproved for their professional career development in the future. As a result, students learnedclear lessons on how a multidisciplinary engineering design project is implemented. In

In 2011-12 there were 74 sections of the then-equivalent of FYS 112;b only three of those sections were taught by faculty from the professionalschools (one from the college of engineering and two from the college of education and healthsciences). The second author was concerned that students perceived this lack of participation inFYS by the faculty of the professional schools as a lack of endorsement for the value of liberaleducation.c She wanted the lecture to emphasize the significance of FYS as a foundation for allareas of study at the University

At the beginning of the meeting the supervisor wouldlook over each student’s homework to ensure they attempted all the problems. Then eachstudent was asked to present a portion of their problem set. The problems selected by thesupervisors for students to present were those that required the application of important anddifficult concepts covered in the course.Each student in the group would be asked to present a portion of their solution using awhiteboard. The portion assigned was selected so that the presentation would require about tenminutes. Students were allowed to use their notes, but expected to explain each step

and that feedback given to students must beinterpreted by students themselves and internalized before it can impact on students’ learning andfurther study9-11. Guided reflective thinking can often be used to guide students through self-assessment activities. Guided reflective thinking is a systematic way of thinking about one’sactions and responses such that future actions and responses can be improved12. Dewey13 describesa reflective operation as having two essential elements “(a) a state of perplexity, hesitation, doubt;and (b) an act of search or investigation directed toward bringing to light further facts ….”. Otherestablished approaches for promoting reflective thinking include prompting students withquestions and worksheets to identify
