willing to meet with instructors outside ofclass9. Krause writes that engagement does not guarantee learning is taking place, but learningcan be enhanced if it provides students with opportunities to reflect on their learning activities10.In our project, students were encouraged to reflect on the lessons learned from the activitieseither in writing or in a class postmortem discussion.There is consensus among members of our department’s professional advisory board thatprofessional practice invariably requires strong verbal and written communication skills. Todevelop their oral communications skills, students need opportunities to present their work aswell as observe their peers doing the same. Some instructors believe that the project

Or the convergence of the post-experience survey maysimply reflect that the women had a better understanding of HFOSS by the end of the day and soresponse became more similar across ethnicities.Opinion results breakdown by age - The opinion responses were also analyzed by agecategories. Significant positive change was found in age categories “20-21” and “over 24” onH3, “consider taking more courses”. This mirrors the significant change for the total set ofrespondents. Sample sizes in the other age categories were much smaller and no significantdifferences were detected. White Hispanic Asia/Pacific Item Pre Post P Pre

The two characteristics together consistently make up about 70% of the replies.It is important to realize that although each module was similar in the amount of contentpresented and that the amount of time students had to complete each module was identical, somemodule concepts were more challenging for students to grasp and implement then others.Anecdotally, we observed students struggle more with modules 1, 2, 6 and 7 then they did withmodules 3,4 and 5. We see several of the trend lines reflecting this pattern.To compare performance on the exam programming questions we
course ends (e.g., as peer tutors or project mentors), • help improve the course (e.g., by creating new active-learning exercises over the material, or scoping out new technological developments that could be incorporated into the course), and • keep you in contact with current industrial practice (e.g., by serving as a scrum master or training others in the practice).This way of looking at a course reflects a subtle, but important, difference in devising courseprojects. The question is not, How can I specify projects that will familarize students with thecourse content? but rather, How can I design projects that will help students find their role inpromoting their own learning and that of their classmates?
