The class was completely online and included five mainelements: (1) pre-recorded “lecture” sessions, (2) “homework” problems presented in the pre-recorded lecture, (3) muddy point reflections at the end of each pre-recorded lecture, (4) onlineasynchronous discussion of muddy points with the students, and (5) online exams. Muddy pointreflections give students the opportunity to share what they found most difficult or confusingabout the lecture, reading, or activity [9], [10]. At the end of every lecture

All RED teams share overarching goals related totransforming engineering education, while teams’ change-making processes vary. For example, onecomputer science-focused project from a large public institution integrates courses for undergraduatesto develop industry-relevant professional skills. Another project at a smaller private institutionmobilizes its focus on identity and inclusion by integrating experiential learning opportunities andimplementing reflection portfolios for students to assess their own engineering

Building on the case studies they worked on (to provide scaffolding for this assignment and get the students working on the project as early as possible) they will create a short report and a short presentation. All students will be expected to contribute to all parts of this activity. The instructors will assess how the students shared the work, how much they interacted to prepare the report and presentation, who did they seek help from (ideally almost all faculty being involved in the course). 4- Reflections: Students will be asked to reflect

These biases couldthen negatively impact faculty’s career trajectory, tenure, and promotion.The belief is widespread among faculty members that student evaluations are not accurate.According to posts on online platforms such as blogs, YouTube, etc., this can lead to feedbackbeing disregarded by faculty; this negates the formative purpose of the assessment. Further,faculty motivation to improve teaching may be hindered if they know or believe that their effortsmay not be reflected by the SET.
