Traditional contact time is reduced and flexibility oftime and location is increased when a WebCT learning environment is introduced. Theskewness of this figure towards non-contact time may be attributed to the fact thatpostgraduate courses (which consists normally of fewer contact hours) take precedence whenWebCT is introduced. Whether contact teaching is considered or whether non-contactteaching is considered, WebCT influences flexibility in terms of communication.3.2 Flexibility in communicationsCollis20 solely refers to communication with the facilitator (“instructor”), when she

The discussion questions and case studies in the course encourage collaboration, experimentation, and creativity and encourage students to solve real-world problems in simulated environments. • The course instructor has a clear plan to offer constructive feedback (Gagne’s Event #7) during discussions and project milestones and after students have submitted assignments. This emphasizes the importance of self-assessment and encourages reflective thinking in students about the concepts they have learned during

The third level, postconventional level, builds ethical reasoning on universalnorms and values (e.g., justice, human rights) that are concerned with and good for everyone inthe world. Individuals operating at postconventional phases hold a critical and reflective stanceon moral values and “authoritative” principles. Moral values and principles are notunquestionably accepted but subject to critique and reflection. Those who reason at this levelhave the highest level of moral development compared to people at the two earlier levels.As early as the late 1970s, Kohlberg’s theory was applied by engineering ethicists in assessingthe moral development of professional engineers.

It became clear that even if this intervention were effective, itwould be unlikely to be broadly implemented due to these challenges. The interventionresulted in only small trends in improved test performance. These observations led us toreconsider and redefine our writing prompt.After considerable re-assessment, discussion and continued research, we streamlined the writingassignment. In the latest iteration of the prompt, implemented during the Fall 2013 semester, weasked students to reflect on any confusion they had about how to solve the selected homeworkproblem and then revise this reflection after receiving instructor input

In the early 1970s,educational researchers David Kolb and Ron Fry developed the Experiential Learning Model(ELM)4 which is composed of four elements:  concrete experience  observation of and reflection on that experience  formation of abstract concepts based upon the reflection  testing the new concepts  (repeat)These four elements are the quintessence

For short-term engagement, studentsparticipate in community-based class projects for one semester or can take elective courses thatoffer community-based research. With short-term engagement, students apply concepts ofcommunity-based research.

Multiple-choice tests can be valid assessment instruments ifwritten correctly, which has led to many concept inventories being created in STEM, like theMechanics Diagnostic Test, Force Concept Inventory, Statics Concept Inventory, DynamicsConcept Inventory, and many others [2, 4, 5].Often MCT are used as pre-/post-tests to try to identify changes in learning. The quantitative resultsof these multiple-choice tests provide easy comparison data when looked at from a pre-/post-testanalysis, but the scores do not always adequately reflect a learning

For example, according to the Carnegie Initiative on the Doctorate, a well-structured program should be purposeful (i.e., programmatic requirements and elements should be aligned with specific goals). It should also be created by a process of iterative individual and collective reflection, transparent (i.e., collectively understood by the faculty and graduate students), and accessible (i.e., elements can be evaluated in terms of their contribution in achieving the purposes of the program) (Golde et al., 2006).● A cascading mentorship model works well, in which members of research groups receive mentorship from more senior members and provide it to more junior members (Feldon et al., 2019).● Institutional

inquiries and discussions have brought to light several issues with thereliability and validity of SETs as the primary measure of teaching quality. There is mountingevidence that end-of-semester evaluations are biased and represent an imperfect measure of aninstructor's performance. They may not accurately reflect the true quality of teaching, or at thevery least, they are unfair [6], [7], [8].Transitioning from traditional paper-based surveys to electronic ones in higher education, whilecost-effective, presented certain drawbacks, particularly in terms of significantly reducedresponse rates, which led to skepticism about the validity and reliability of SETs [9], [10].The limitations of SETs have led to continuous calls for a more comprehensive and
