However, finding anappropriate laboratory exercise for design assessment was difficult since most experimentalmethods in Infrastructure Materials and Soil Mechanics follow well-specified standard methods.Exercises in Transportation Engineering involve complex computer programs are difficult todesign without in-depth knowledge of the software. In contrast, most lab exercises in Hydraulicsand Hydrology involve collecting and analyzing data from field or laboratory settings thatillustrate the theories

Due to the impact of COVID in Spring 2020, the withdrawal deadline forour institution was pushed back significantly and also students planned to utilize the alreadyadvertised pass/fail policy. These reasons could seem to explain the low withdrawal rate and highfailure rate. In Fall 2020, students were offered to take the pass/fail policy on any two courses, butthis was announced much later in the semester. By then most students had already withdrawn fromthe course. Figure 5 shows the pass/fail/withdraw grade break down for FED101 for all threesemesters. A significant number of students (more than half of the class) failed the class duringSpring 2020.

Forthat, educators should define what students are willing to achieve through the program, what theirdreams are, and how they plan to achieve their goals.For the institution context:In this category, we define three elements to take into account, namely, the organization resources,the learning objectives, and the constraints. Indeed, education designers seeking implementablesolutions must tap into the available resources of the institution and know the local conditions. Forthis category, we identified four themes that could be considered: the workspace and

Botswana towards sustainable economicgrowth, global competitiveness, and improved quality of life (Atkinson & Mayo, 2010). On October 1st, 2016 Botswana formed the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Research,Science and Technology with the explicitly stated goal of transforming Botswana from aresource-based to a knowledge-based economy. The impetus for such an initiative was set forthin Botswana’s Vision 2036. Set forth in 2016, this new “vision” for Botswana was predicated onthe mapping of a transformative agenda that reflected the aspirations and goals of the nation. Forthis vision to come to fruition it was imperative that Botswana create a strategic plan to help withredefining their resource-based economy to that of a knowledge-based
