Four faculty, two from the computer science department and twofrom the FYE program, are taking part in this second iteration of the initiative, resulting insubstantial changes to the way they teach and assess their students. During the planning process inthe summer 2015, it became evident that while these courses offered opportunities for students towork on projects, tools for assessing the students’ thinking were not extensively used. Specifically,prior to TH!NK while student artifacts were assessed, the design processes themselves were notassessed, and therefore students only received constructive feedback on work products, not workprocess. With the required TH!NK course revisions, there is an opportunity to improve
