instructor, it is also important to understand that there can be many factors playing a role into why someone is walking in late. Being a student is hard and not everyone starts on the same level. And the more flexible and accepting a professor is of minor things, the more it makes students feel welcomed and excited about a class and also willing to approach the professor with academic, career, or even life questions.An instructor with a harsh response to a late student often alienates other students by projecting anunwelcoming attitude toward students.Some students commented on habitual tardiness. This is where some action by the instructor isjustified. Here is one such comment: Inappropriate student behavior involves

isrequired from the students during the activities. This section has four subscales, described asfollows:1. Interactive instruction: An activity must involve the collective construction of knowledge; students' interactions create that construction. The items for this subscale include group activities performed during class, such as solving problems, hands-on activities, and group discussions; or outside the classroom, such as completing homework, working on a project, and studying outside of class.2. Constructive instruction: Promotes behaviors in "which learners generate or produce additional externalized outputs or products beyond what was provided in the learning material" [15].

10Engineers are involved with all types of infrastructure construction while Architectural Engineersare limited to building constructions. In some respects, Architectural Engineering may be viewedas a specialized subset of Civil Engineering. The average number of Architectural Engineersgraduating from K-State and KU total 75 graduates per year. These graduates are likely to meetsome of the demand for Civil Engineers in Kansas for the appropriate types of projects. AlthoughKBOR concludes that the supply of Civil Engineers does not meet demand, perhaps the gap is notthat large. In terms of Electrical Engineering, there is a gap that is moderate or large depending onwhich demand estimate is assumed. Finally, there appears to be a sizeable gap where

Aliterature survey indicates that there are a number of different possibilities for intervention in Statics.Burkhardt15 reviews a variety of these different techniques including increased contact time,supplemental instruction, active learning, project-based learning, and one-on-one tutoring. He notesthat the effectiveness of any given intervention is highly dependent on the appropriate implementationof that technique. As a result, Burkhardt concludes that there is a need for high-quality assessment ofintervention techniques. The results of the current study should provide a benchmark for theevaluation of the efficacy of any intervention techniques applied in a

A key, underlying goal of this project was to gain an understanding of how efficiently andeffectively students learn in hybrid course environments relative to those that are moretraditional. This outcome was evaluated by comparing scores on common exams. Another goalwas to accommodate a wider diversity of learning styles by offering students a choice betweentwo, very different course formats − based on the premise that being required to make a choiceforces students to think about how they learn and the environment in which they learn best
