Whenhomework has been used effectively, it typically required a grade[18], self or peer review[19] anduses metacognitive tools[1], [20]. Chickering and Gamson established seven principles for goodpractice in undergraduate education[21]. This study directly follows one (give prompt feedback)and indirectly supports three of the principles (develop cooperation among students, encouragesactive learning, and communicates high expectations).Homework facilitates learning and it can also be used to assess learning.

Finally, Discourses that influenced the identities that emergedfrom each participant’s interview were identified in order to draw connections to widerinfluences in the social and political landscape.From this analysis process, six Discourses were identified: pedagogical, economic,individualistic, peer collaboration, math, and research. Pedagogical Discourses were the mostfrequent in students’ interviews (excluding discourses directly related to solving the problems).Many of the Discourses highlighted the practices, expectations, and language uses associatedwith being a

Get a blank piece of paper, a writing instrument, and write and circle ‘Sustainability’ in the center of the paper. 2. The general form of your map should be a series of connected bubbles, with the ‘Sustainability’ bubble at the center. These bubbles do not have to be strictly hierarchical, and can include anything from words to phrases to images. They can be nested if that fits your understanding of concepts. Don’t try to put too much into any single bubble. You can label connecting lines (often with words describing the relationship) though you do not have to. You should not consult outside sources or others’ maps during

lab activities in this course, students were tasked with a visual depiction to showdifferent types of bias. The details of this activity and resultant student visual depictions will bediscussed in this section. The lab for this week consisted of a 75 minute course block with areading and question prompts assigned for after the lab period. In the lab, the first activity forstudents was to discuss and define the word bias with their peers. At this point in the semester,students have not encountered a formal statistical definition of bias in data. In the next step,students were tasked to read a comic inspired by Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s work on gender shades(Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018). This comic was drawn by Vreni Stollberger and published in

-directed education is a podcast, which is an audioor video file distributed to an appropriate media player over the Internet. Our students ina multidisciplinary mechanical engineering class were able to go beyond being aconsumer and instead became creators of podcasts and active participants through blogs and aclassroom response system (clickers). With the use of new technologies and software tools,students were given the opportunity to create and post podcasts of their own research. Becausethe assignment was optional (students had a choice of writing a paper or creating a podcast ontheir original research) not all of the students created podcasts. Both types of completed projects(papers and podcasts) were uploaded to the class blog. In class

leads to observation #2 – Compose your T&L portfolio to highlightthe most positive aspects of your teaching. Since you have considerable flexibility in how youformulate your T&L portfolio, use that flexibility to your advantage.As with creating any document, you always want to consider your audience carefully. YourT&L portfolio has many potential audiences, many knowing little about the specific details ofyour discipline. This means that how well written and organized the portfolio is will be moreimportant to many of the audiences than the content. In my case, I realized that I was anengineer writing a document that would be reviewed by individuals for whom writing was theirdiscipline. Given the greater length of the document

It allows students with diversebackgrounds and perspectives to come together and understand the subject material holisticallyand comprehensively. Working in a team encourages students to exchange ideas, expertise, andbest practices, which helps them learn from one another and not only from the teaching staff.When students work on programming assignments in a team, it allows students to peer reviewtheir team members’ code. Peer evaluation and feedback help improve the work’s overall qualityand also reflects developers’ workflow in real-world software development projects. Moreover, acollaborative environment encourages students to be accountable for their and their teammembers’ work
