Some faculty may be apprehensive ofmoving from a familiar cultural environment to the new multicultural environment, or adaptingto a new work environment that may cause frustrations. Despite legislation and organizationalpolicies that attempt to manage and encourage successful engagement, and retain a diverseenvironment, faculty members are still challenged on how to deal with workplace diversityprofessionally. In order to address these challenges, the research addressed cultural awarenessprograms such as cultural

by almostevery university campus. Under the Quality Enhancement Plan, Old Dominion University(ODU) has been regularly offering Improving Disciplinary Writing (IDW) workshops for itsfaculty since 2014. The IDW workshop divides the technical writing process into six steps: pre-writing planning, research, drafting, reviewing, revising, and editing. It also emphasizes fourimportant features of effective writing: role, audience, format, and task (RAFT). This six-steptechnical writing process, along with RAFT, serves as the base for laboratory manual revision. Laboratory manual writing is very different from textbook writing, just as laboratoryinstruction is very different from regular lecture classes. The former has to deal with

. In these open-ended spaces, students experience uncertainty about projectgoals, roles and designs, and how learning paths take shape moment to moment is unclear, oftendiffering student to student.In project-based curricula, much is unknown, unspecified, and ambiguous, conceptually andrelationally. Learners must tolerate much of this ambiguity and select what and when they callattention to uncertainty – places where they see fault or limitation in their own or the group’sdesigns, knowledge, or plan. In this analysis we saw that when facing much uncertainty - oftenacross many aspects of a project - how students select what to bring attention to, and how theyrespond when uncertainty is raised by others, cannot be well predicted by the material

No specific constraintwas given to the participants. At the end of this task, the participants were asked to describe theirusual shopping strategy. We believe people develop a general floor plan of their favorite stores, which
