First, itshould be noted that neither the original nor the proposed rubrics are true rubrics, in that neithergives discrete definitions for each level of each criteria. It was considered in the proposed rubricto provide descriptions for each level of each criterion, but when this was done, it created adocument which was not user-friendly in that it was textually overwhelming.

Courses where the online component is synchronous, or broken into small groups meeting synchronously, allowing students to express themselves online. Courses where the online component is asynchronous should provide a justification and design based on course content for the substitution of online for on-ground sessions.Recommendation 1d: The Task Force recommends

These studies, which were conducted up until the last months before thebuilding opened in January 2013, helped to answer planning questions, as well as build supportand awareness of the library among faculty and students.1 After the building opened, it quicklybecame apparent that assessment of the effectiveness of the new spaces and the service modelwas needed and as a result, more studies were initiated. The resulting body of five years ofresearch provides many practical insights into the needs and preferences of Hunt Library users.The Hunt Library is situated on

To design is to project and propose what might be. Designsynthesis is a creative activity that relies on the knowledge of experts about the state of the art aswell as the state of technology. From this knowledge, a number of feasible design alternativesare fashioned and presented for analysis.

The length of questions, including number of sub-questions, were adjusted, as necessary, to support the intended 15-minute response time. For example, questions were organized using matrix formats with a leading question followed by a series of items (e.g., “I am familiar with

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken
