The questions focused on assessing the students’ understandingof the culture of different countries and viewpoints of the international market. Results from thefive questions were all relatively positive with most questions being answered as “slightlyimproved” or “greatly improved.” The overall category average was 3.56, which was the averageof all the participants’ responses to questions m through q.

this work suggestthat, contrary to common perception of engineering students, these students in aggregatereadily identified their writing courses as equally useful to their non-writing courses.However, these students were significantly less interested in their writing courses’ contentthan that of other concurrent engineering classes. We conclude by providing actionableinsights for educators that are suggested by our data. Q: Imagine that you are the instructor of an engineering writing class. What would you do to ensure that students stayed interested and motivated to learn? A: Ha! Good one. Honestly, I'm glad that's really not my problem, 'cause I have no clue. Best of luck with that, though. –Participant ID

ofthe case study, students delved into the “central limit theorem”, which is a key concept in thecourse. The students are expected to visualize the central limit theorem for the given data. Thisalso motivates them to explore graphical tools in Python in order to produce various plots fromthe data, such as Q-Q plots. In addition, students got to practice with cumulative distributionfunctions and understand the concept more in depth. The case study was designed such thatstudents were required to revisit the majority of the probabilistic concepts (e.g. conditionalprobability, integration technique) and apply them at the same time in a different, realisticcontext. This case study also went one step further, and the students were introduced with

Through these reflections, the studentsreview and summarize their learning from previous lectures and at the same time they activelyengage in the process of thinking and deliberation within the classroom.A day in the non-calculus based class Every class, starts with a brief review, open discussions and Q/A of the last

If the number of columns of the first matrix is not equalto the number of rows of the second matrix, we cannot multiply those two matrices.In multiplication of two matrices, if the order of the two matrices change, if still the dimensionsallow multiplication, the result of multiplication will be different than the previous multiplicationunlike the multiplication of two scalars. b) How to write a set of equations with multiple unknowns in the form of matrices.If we have a set of q linear equations with q unknowns, the equations

Chinese students is that they seldom ask anyquestions during the class, but they tend to gather around the instructor after the class and askquestions about the lecture. We believe this is related to the way students are expected to behaveduring lecture, which is to listen and not interrupt. As for NAU taught courses in China, theclassroom follows the more student-centered approach. Every NAU faculty would combine oneor several interactive class activities with traditional lectures to keep the students engaged inclass. Some typical activities include: a) Short Q & A sections: the roles are interchangeable as either the instructor or students can be the one to give questions. b) Asking students to answer short questions with a
