typical federal granting agency time period ofthree years does not allow sufficient time for data collection, processing, and the comprehensiveanalysis to publish a book without multiple no-cost extensions.Another challenge to publication of this work is disciplinary differences in the treatment ofconference publications. In disciplines like computer science, full-paper peer reviewedpublications at the best conferences are of similar stature to journal publications. In socialscience disciplines, conferences have less stature and full proceedings often aren’t published.Without rigorous full-paper peer review, the engineers on our team are unable to get academiccredit for this work.

The result is students leaving labwith knowledge gaps regarding the topic that prevent them from creating a solid foundation onwhich to build their basic programming knowledge. Even worse is the fact this approach teachesstudents when they are handed a programming task to dive straight to code as fast as possiblewhich may not be consistent with how they will work in industry.The goal of this paper is to outline a new paradigm for structuring the lab period which teachesstudents how to work with peers to solve a problem, think before they code, and build conceptualunderstanding

Also, students mayneed detailed training on how to develop a useful study guide. Finally, we have found that theremay be a benefit to peer-sharing of study guides.IntroductionCourse examinations are ubiquitous throughout highereducation, regardless of the subject area.When an instructor announces an exam, one question is sure to follow: “Can we use our bookand/or notes on the exam?” [That this is asked, and not some default assumed, speaks to thevarious answers that students often receive to the question above.—this sentence is awkward]One approach used across fields is to disallow students access to their

The absence of women faculty and mentors both within the classroomand outside of it, few women peers in their classes, and the lack of supportive networks cancreate a “chilly climate” for women in non-traditional fields.

Areas such as the loss ofgroup work, in class discussions, individual student tailoring based on student ability, studentlearning through instructor feedback, and motivation are all areas that MOOC courses will needto heavily focus on. Some MOOCs have begun to address some of these concerns by integratingself generating study groups to take advantage of the cooperative learning philosophy11 that hasbeen steadily growing as a teaching method at all grade levels. Utilizing the cooperative learningapproach fits well with the MOOCs as it allows the teacher to reduce their role as lecturer andassessor of materials, pushing more of the learning to the student and peer to peer
