theprograms. Some online programming classes can typically have hundreds ofstudents; if 30 assignments are given throughout the semester, this amounts to3000, 6000 or more programs to grade. That’s a lot of programs to grade, nomatter how many TAs there are. Thus, for students of large online courses to getthe practice that they need, some sort of grading automation is necessary.A common problem in computer science courses is the “cascadingmisunderstanding” phenomenon. If a student misunderstands a concept in an earlycourse, s/he may still pass and continue into later courses, compounding themisunderstanding semester after semester. A solution to this problem is a switchto a mastery learning model. With mastery learning, a student cannot move

The following is anexemplar statement from Participant 2’s final reflective writing: The [program] has encouraged me to adopt a more empathetic and student-centered approach. Recognizing the psychological and emotional dimensions of student learning has led me to consider how academic policies and teaching practices can sometimes inadvertently contribute to student stress and disengagement. This shift towards a more empathetic pedagogy aims to create a learning environment that fosters student well- being and academic engagement.Participant 2 also described an actionable plan for his intended practices for providing feedbackto future students: I am

As mentioned before, the activities were designed and supervised by participatingfaculty members but female students from the Fresno State chapter of the Society of WomenEngineers (SWE) were on hand for all activities. They provided guidance and support whenneeded by the participants. Additionally, engineering students served as mentors to the highschool students. Frequently, the high school participants directed questions and comments to theengineering students in lieu of speaking to the lecturers in front of the entire group.

They are creative in defining labs that reflect theirindividual viewpoint on the learning objectives which benefit from hands-on experience. Thelab assignments currently being created by a faculty are independent of text books. Text bookpublishers have an opportunity to provide pre-configured labs which map to the text. One likelyreason that faculty has this unsatisfied desire/need is that it would reduce its work load.It is interesting to note that many traditional science degree programs like biology, chemistry

It is also wellcited in the literature that since the 1980’s, US undergraduate writing centers have been serving agrowing population of ESL graduate students, which is the case at UI as well.77 This isproblematic because most peer tutors are undergraduates trained to meet undergraduate writingneeds and so graduate students who visit writing centers may not receive the kind of targetedassistance they need.
