the impact of cooperative learning during the Spring2020 semester by studying team retrospectives written by students enrolled in a system analysisand design course.The pedagogical foundation for the system analysis and design course was cooperative learning.The course required students to work in teams to develop a software prototype. The project wasdivided into four milestones and each team was required to submit a team retrospective detailingoverall planning, task allocation, group processes, and strategies for improvement. The first twomilestones were completed during face-to-face instruction, while teams met online for the lasttwo milestones due to the shift to online instruction. To investigate team effectiveness, a rubricbased on the

Facilities personnel, andfaculty spent time planning for multiple Fall 2020 semester scenarios because of the COVID-19pandemic. University Facilities began by evaluating all classrooms and laboratory spaces todetermine maximum capacities. They also worked with departments to provide cleaning suppliesfor offices and classroom spaces.Mode of InstructionIn June of 2020 the university made the decision to offer as many face-to-face and hybrid classesas possible during the Fall 2020 semester. After University Facilities assessed all classrooms andlaboratories on campus to determine maximum room capacities, department administrators thenworked with faculty to determine their preferred mode of instruction for the fall semester.Faculty were able to adjust

The program was designed to build and assess participant gains not only in research experience but also in their professional development, mentor/cohort relationships, and plans for their career.4. The program was designed to have broad reach in who was impacted, with cascading impact because of the participants selected.The CISTAR REM program speaks to how we should be designing summer programs and isconsistent with the growing body of evidence, captured well in the following quote: “Empiricaldata suggest that, although students from underrepresented racial minority backgrounds

% Final Exam (comprehensive) 25% Total 100%Baseline Semester:In order to explore the efficacy of the recitation course, the plan is to examine the passing rate ofstudents with similar exam scores both with and without the course. In the fall of 2020, therecitation course was not offered to students and thus will serve as a baseline for student gradecomparison. Within the first 3 weeks of class an invitation was sent to all students throughoutthe 6 sections of Statics asking for participation in the upcoming study. If they consented, theywere asked to complete a short survey and their learning data was used for the study. At the endof the
full course was during the pandemic, a comparison couldn’tbe made to a traditional exam format to use as evidence to confirm an elevation of course equity.However, creative expression and the identification of gaps were realized. Students were not asenthusiastic about the approach in Fall 2020 and attributed this attitude to the ongoing pandemic.This lethargy is supported by the higher education literature describing mounting mental healthpressures due to the duration of the pandemic.Going forward, the author will not implement the assessment method again during the pandemic.However, there are plans for use as a better alternative to the occasional take home exam.Goal of the StudyThe goal of this study is to review the outcomes from other

We proposed that through participating in thisREU, students would: (S1) conduct independent research in water science or

Lastly, students are given one hour to picktheir top three ideas, quickly prototype them and exchange feedback with peers.Project Week 4During this week’s lab, students first summarize the feedback they receive for their prototypesfrom the previous lab. Afterwards, they choose a list of criteria to evaluate their prototypes andconstruct a decision matrix to pick their top design solution. They then plan on how toimplement their top solution by creating a bill of materials and developing a Gantt chart.Project Week 5This week’s lab is for proposal presentation. Each student team gives a 5-min presentation topitch their project. Students are asked to use the Need, Approach, Benefits, Competition (NABC)template [23] to show how their

Instructional strategy (especially discussion and interactive sessions) was modified toinclude CT aspects. Assessment plans were amended to address the revised course learningobjectives.

For the most part, transfer studentscarry these challenges as invisible minority marks. As such, they may share with other minoritystatuses a sense of “otherness” from the mainstream college student, and consequent obstacles toself-confidence and -efficacy, weaker academic achievement, uncertainty of future plans in theirmajors, and a weaker sense of being part of the (student) community in their major.

Unfortunately, the randomly generatedexamples and exercises in that system do not yet support using this method, as the relevant partsof the software were written prior to conceiving of the new approach and considerable changeswill be required. It is planned to add support for it in the future. The entire tutorial system isfreely available (via the first author) to instructors who wish to use it.The revamped approach to mesh analysis can now be summarized as follows: 1. Select a reference mesh, whose mesh current is usually defined to be 0 A. This mesh can be any mesh in the circuit, including the outer mesh, but should ideally include

Pintrich and hiscolleagues developed the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) to measurecollege students’ SRL skills [5], and he proposed a conceptual framework for SRL in the collegeclassroom [9]. The framework consists of four phases that are explained in four areas forregulation; the four phases are ‘forethought, planning, and activation,’ ‘monitoring,’ ‘control,’and ‘reaction and reflection’; the four areas for regulation are ‘cognition,’ ‘motivation/affect,’‘behavior,’ and ‘context.’ Table I shows Pintrich’s SRL model [9].

So, in order to know how to detect a deepfake, we needed to know how it is created. Our plan is to generate deep fakes and formulate asolution to fight it. Through this project, we also hope to educate the crowd and raise awareness. MethodThe project is divided into two phases: Creating deep fake and detecting it. To create deep fake, weneeded to capture 500-5000 frames/pictures of two or more people. We have used Faceswap, apython-based application used to convert video footage to images and blend pictures using deeplearning. Real Videos and Images of
mentor was not satisfied. When survey results were analyzed, it wasnoted that faculty desired more training and discussion about this mentoring process. In Fall 2019,two mentor meetings were offered, one a more formal mentor orientation and one a round tablediscussion. Faculty express a sense of satisfaction in helping students as their incentive forparticipation. For the few pairs that have not been as successful, it has usually been because the pairsfail to meet as planned. Earlier intervention by program staff using a short check-in right at thebeginning of each semester allowed concerns to surface earlier in Fall 2019.
