students also liked the way that they could choose to arrive late,leave early, or even miss lectures altogether.Students also saw problems with large classes. First, there was less individual responsibility.They saw the passive context as hindering learning, making it easier to not pay attention, or evennot attend. Second, large classes were seen as impersonal, leading to decreased motivation. Third,students found that large classes tended to be noisier and offer more distractions: students arrivedlate, left early, and talked to others during the lecture. Students also mentioned overcrowding,microphone difficulties, and projected images that were hard to see. Significantly, however,when asked to compare their best large classes with their best

For the purpose of testing, Postal was run using unthrottledthroughput, a configuration of one message per connection, and variable thread counts.All performance tests are automated through configuration of the Cron Daemon in Linux andScheduled Tasks in Microsoft Server 2003.

through more elaborateassignment instructions that encouraged students to write creatively about the concepts they werelearning. In addition, the Research Papers in the College Writing class led to informal ResearchPresentations in front of an audience of the College Writing class and both instructors. Next year,the instructors hope to expand on that idea. For example, we envision an assignment that couldbe an extension of the existing Concept Paper assignment: a student-led presentation project, withthe presentation being more formal. Each student would either lead the class in a discussion of aphysical concept, or demonstrate the concept to the class. To aid in these presentations, audio-visual and/or computer presentation equipment could be

Inone study conducted with girls aged six to eleven, some girls preferred the look of the minidollsbecause of the different clothing options that they have, while others projected body image idealsonto the minidolls, claiming that they “could never be that skinny” [14, p. 258]. The lattercomment raises concerns about the target audience of the LEGO Friends minidolls. If girls arenot able to identify with the minidolls, they may feel excluded from playing with these toy sets.In addition, LEGO’s choice of introducing minidolls for the LEGO Friends sets instead ofusing the traditional, block-shaped minifigures may suggest to girls that their LEGO toys areinherently different and the original LEGO product lines aren’t “meant for them

While this starts with what clicker questions to use, it can easilyexpand to how the material is discussed in the classroom and how the material is handled outsideof the classroom.An analogy can be made to a toolbox.
