Data on student engagement is collected from theresponse the students gave to a questionnaire. For brevity, the rubric for step 1 (studentengagement) and step 4 (planning) is indicated in Table 1 and 2 in Appendix 1. The data wascollected for each of the twelve open-ended homework questions and averaged at the end of thesemester.Besides, a second questionnaire is

The selected coding practices are applicable to C++and Java. Each secure coding practice is assigned a weight reflecting its importance and severity.We consider a set of 43 students’ programming assignments in C++ and Java, with all of thembeing anonymized for Personally Identifiable Information. Each assignment typically has differentcoding practices that are relevant, which is a result of the difference in requirements amongassignments.

In their article, Kessel and Linn[1] claim that college admissions officers may be missing talented females if they are relyingheavily on ACT and SAT scores. Their article points out that “females report spending moretime reflecting on similarities among problems, organizing and linking their ideas, and review-ing material” and because of this, they tend to be less able to demonstrate speed and

While historically, an independentstudy course has been a more common approach for academic credit, more recently stand-alonecourses such as Humanitarian Design Projects and/or integrated programs such as the EPICSprogram at Purdue and other universities are becoming more common.[7-9] This manuscriptpresents the Humanitarian Design Projects course, its structure and major assignments, andprovides evaluation data and reflections on the successes and challenges of implementing thecourse in its current form.2

If so, mark this level; If not, move to Step 2. (2) Decide if the work matches the description of the minimum standard. If so, mark this level; if not, move to Step 3.

With computational modeling, the only difference is during the manipulation ofequations the student should let the computer do most of the work. Students write out the firstpart of the problem before they start modifying code. Students are encouraged to transition from amathematical description to a code model by rewriting the equations in terms of variable namesas pseudo-code before typing anything into the computer.
