Not only wasit one of the better discussions of the semester, but it represented that the discussion andfeedback techniques helped students to assimilate and integrate the information learned in classand apply this information to analyze real world scenarios.Final grades were assigned near the end of the semester with 75% of the students achievingacceptable levels of class participation. A survey was given two lessons after instructor/classparticipation grades were assigned (appendix B). The results of the survey indicate the objectiveof enhancing the learning experience for students was achieved. Albeit not a perfect model, itseems the method

Graduate Students as Co-Instructors for an Undergraduate Course: Implementation and AssessmentAbstractThis work suggests one method to fully expose graduate students to the demands ofteaching an undergraduate course under the supervision of a full-time faculty member.The students, called co-instructors, interact with the supervisor on various levels fromcourse design to the grading schemes. Based on the feed back received from the students,it was concluded that this type of interaction provided a useful learning experience forboth the undergraduate students and the co-instructors.IntroductionThe primary purpose of an engineering college, especially at the undergraduate level, isto provide effective instruction in subject matter

These principles, referred to as“KEYS” in his essay, are: a) promoting individual and group accountability; b) usingassignments that link and mutually reinforce individual work, group work, and total classdiscussions; and c) adopting practices that stimulate give-and-take interaction within andbetween groups.Application of the Theory:This type of interaction can be facilitated by dividing students into small groups of five orsix and assigning chapters within the text. These teams of students are then divided intoexpert groups one through five. After each individual reads the

This understanding andlinking of tenure and promotion requirements is far from clear-cut and variessignificantly between larger research-oriented universities and smaller teaching-orientedcolleges, and even varies significantly across similar types of institutions. A completelisting of all possible tenure and promotion requirements at all types of institutions is, ofcourse, not feasible within a single paper.
