The Google Sketchup™ portion of the project was not implemented. Studentscreated floor plans for each floor, a landscape design for the house, yard, and fence, andcompleted a housing plan proposal. The proposal included calculations for area andperimeter and interior design according to the following questions: A. List four options for kitchen flooring. How much will each cost? What do you need to install each? Choose one and calculate the cost to install. B. List four options for painting the living room. How much

forreflective learning. In terms of motivation, the single most important factor associated with apositive service-learning experience appears to be the student’s degree of interest in the subjectmatter. Subject matter interest is an especially important determinant of the extent to which (a)the service experience enhances understanding of the “academic” course material, and (b) the Page 25.882.4service is viewed as a learning experience. These findings provide strong support for the notionthat service learning should be included in the student’s major field.

. Environmental educationis the necessity of the current generation, primarily because of the enormous demand exerted onthe natural environmental resources as a consequence of rapid population growth, pace ofurbanization and industrialization across the world. The first official attempt at defining whatenvironmental education ought to be was made by William B. Stapp in 1969. According to Stappet al., “Environmental education is aimed at producing citizenry that is knowledgeableconcerning the biophysical environment and its associated problems and motivated to worktowards their solution”1. The emphasis in this definition is on making environmental education atool to create a self-sustaining human population that is aware of its environmental

It requires the careful alignment of the industry standards to tightly focusedtraining for a delimited band of skills within clearly stated course learning outcomes ofthe existing academic program. Finally, it requires program administrator vigilance tomaintain the alignment and verification of student success in both their academic andcredential programs.References1.

A student can earn anA+, A, A-, B+, etc. There was one failure in the course in the semester examined, so the F datais statistically insignificant, representing just one data point. By grouping together all thestudents by letter grade and comparing the percent of time spent on each activity, moreinteresting results emerged (Figure 3).

summary statistics, statistical models were builtto predict exam performance based on the variables outlined in the previous sections. Logisticregression was chosen because of the non-normality of the outcome variable (exam scores) andthe many categorical variables. For a logistic regression model, the outcome variable must bedichotomous. As a result, the exam score variable was transformed to a binary variable with 1indicating the score was 80% or higher (A or B) and 0 indicating the score was less than 80% (C,D, or F). Multinomial regression was considered but rejected because of concerns that there wasnot a large enough sample size for this technique.Instead of one model that predicts the overall course grade, three models were built to
