Research supports a wide variety uses for case-based instruction for allfaculty members – regardless of their comfort level with this method[14]. A survey of facultymembers who use case studies in STEM education revealed varied applications for cases. Oneprofessor uses directed and highly-structured cases to reinforce content knowledge andconceptual understanding, while another professor uses open-ended, problem-based cases toencourage team building.

. Fun lab. (Fall 2013)Overall student enrollment for two offering of the course using the PBL approach was low (11students). Despite the relatively low enrollment, student comments are compelling and suggestthe PBL approach was successful. Compared to previous course deliveries (non-PBL based), thestudents displayed more enthusiasm for the laboratory component of the course. On the negative side, informal feedback by select students suggested that time demandsnear the end of the course were excessive. This was anticipated and addressed by eliminating athird exam and increasing the weight of the laboratory portion of the course. Writing the finalreports proved to be a daunting task for both teams. In the future, the instructor plans to

Individual scene elements corresponding to each floor type were created andpositioned according to their corresponding positions as per the Pareto plan obtained in theprevious step. For complex objects including multiple parts, various object parts are grouped toform parent objects, leading to complete objects that are combined and re-positioned to createthe final 3D scene. Another advanced way of customizing the virtual objects is by the use ofPROTO nodes, which

As processes and vocabulary became routine, the complexity of tasksincreased. The projects were designed to use previous sections of code that the students werefamiliar using to help develop a strong understanding of what was happening and how thedifferent parts of the code functioned. It was important not to overload the students with toomuch information or responsibility for self-learning at the beginning. With each lab, studentsdeveloped troubleshooting skills that could

Accordingly, textbooks guideinstructional planning and classroom activities “by making content available, organizing it, andsetting out learning tasks in a form designed to be appealing to students.” 1 Whether or not to usea textbook in a college level class is a decision that may or not fall to the individual instructor.Some courses, particularly those that are required of all undergraduates in a major, often use a“standard” text selected by the department. Other courses may allow for more flexibility and aprofessor can decide whether or not to require a textbook as well as select the textbook.Researchers have advocated a variety of approaches
