The key to accomplishing bothof these is staying organized. Staying organized was also the most common tip fromparticipants. Specific suggestions included consistent file names, sharing strategies, andplanning directory structures. The other common tip was ensuring files are backed up, eitherthrough the cloud or manually.

One major success of SI is the peer interaction. Students can receive positivereinforcement by learning from a student who has been able to excel in a historically difficultclass. Additionally, SIs tend to teach the material in a method that reflects a student’s train ofthought, which is more appealing to fellow undergraduate students. SI is also capitalizing on animportant stage of the learning process–repetition. By the SI repeating the material previouslydiscussed in lecture, students often come to understand the material better. As mentionedpreviously, other

Clear strength values typically represent the mean as-tested values of clearspecimens (without knots, cracks or other defects), whereas design values are often two standarddeviations below the mean to ensure a 95% probability of the wood not failing.

following conclusions are warranted: • Student’s performance at the beginning of semester is highly correlated to their performance throughout the semester. This enables developing an early alert system by monitoring students at the beginning of semester. • Early semester homework assignments, mid-term exams, and in-class practice problems can be employed as Students Performance Indicators (SPI) for developing the prediction model. • Among the considered SPIs, the in-class practice problem indicator that reflects the active involvement of students in class exercises showed the highest regression coefficient.

Hofstein andLunetta suggested that if students were supported with enough time and opportunities forinteraction and reflection, that meaningful learning would happen in the laboratory [11]. However,students are usually engaged in technical activities with few opportunities to interpret and statetheir beliefs about the meaning of their laboratory work [12]. It is, therefore, crucial to provideopportunities that encourage students to ask questions, make design inquiries, and suggesthypotheses.
