that integrates thevideo, transcript text and codes. Classroom sessions were segmented into clips, and clipswere coded to reflect the points of interest noted in our research questions, in a mannersimilar to Nathan et al., 2009. Our coding framework delineated two dimensions that areespecially relevant here: A. Concepts mark engagement with “big ideas” from STEM, such as: modeling in engineering; force and work in science; and algebra in mathematics. We separately note whether math concepts are explicitly integrated for students during instruction. B. Skills address process-oriented tasks that are important for doing practical Page

writing skills.ObservationsAs the purpose of the project was to focus on the academic, advising, and library concerns,we use these areas as our assessment guidelines. The main academic concern was students’writing abilities. In the past 10 years, approximately 4,500 students have completed theE/FEWP integrated writing curriculum. The grades for the first writing assignment in the fallsemester have consistently averaged in the B- to C+ range. The final conference paper gradeshave always increased to an average grade of A-. As a result, the English department nowwaves the Seminar in Composition course for engineering students because the writingcomponent in the freshman year is meeting or exceeding the goals of a standard first-semesterwriting

A second point of contention is that, for the assessment andevaluation of program educational objectives, there exists a long time constant that exceeds othershorter system time constants that do affect results, such as university institutional and curricularchanges, university personnel changes, or changes in the economy. This long time constant foreffecting change in the program educational objectives includes: (a) detecting a problem via the collected assessment data, (b) creating and implementing a solution plan, and (c) assessing the effectiveness the solution.The time constant for such a process is six to eight years or longer, depending on the solutionplan.

Students go to the lab at their convenient time to get help from tutors. The tutorial lab showson the course schedule with one credit hour, but it is not recorded on the transcript for any credit.As a result, some students opt not to go to the lab. Compared to regular developmental mathclasses, the SBP math classes provide students with these advantages: a) attending the recitationsession regularly as a cohort; b) getting immediate feedback on their work and proper guidancefrom the instructor who can readjust his/her teaching plans according to students’ mastery andprogress; c) getting tutoring assistance from experienced

It seems to take about a hour’s time to produce a segment of about aminute’s length. Of course, once a segment is developed it can be used infinitely often. Detailed data is collected as the concepts are taught to attain new insight into thelearning process. Student A viewed all the concepts at a single sitting with no pauses orrollbacks, indicating a more reflective approach to learning. Student B paused andrestarted the presentation frequently, and often went back to hear/view a sequence ofconcepts many times. Student C switched back and forth
