Gina C. Pieters – Journal of Economic Education, 2024
Used correctly, assessments play a vital role in the success of a course: they provide valuable feedback to students regarding their knowledge gaps, encourage deeper understanding of the material, help students to develop critical thinking, and guide students to accomplish a course's learning goals. They also provide a signal to future employers,…

George A. Lengyel; Thaddeus T. Boron III; Ashley M. Loe; Susan Zirpoli – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Homework has been shown to provide positive impacts on student performance at the undergraduate level. Providing an incentive for students to complete homework assignments, however, can be challenging and result in grade inflation or promotion of a mentality where students attempt to collect points rather than use these assignments for feedback…

McElearney, Patrick – Communication Teacher, 2023
Undergraduate courses on small-group communication often cover group roles, group conflict, and conflict management styles. Although these concepts are valuable to learn, merely memorizing them does not address the practical skills students need to employ conflict management strategies when situated in group conflict. This activity provides a…

Campbell Collaboration, 2023
Students face several challenges when learning through traditional teaching settings. They need to accumulate huge amounts of factual knowledge from the courses, and to keep up-to-date with the prolific growth in health knowledge. Lack of awareness about digital technologies and non-exposure to digital-friendly environments have made learning even…

Plasencia, Javier – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
An undergraduate online course on Applied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology was developed through different formats of case study that included lecture, class discussion, small-groups discussion, and individual work. Cases covering health, biotechnology, agriculture, and other issues were developed or adapted from the literature to reach the…

Bouquet, F.; Dauphin, C.; Bernard, F.; Bobroff, J. – Physics Education, 2019
We describe four classical undergraduate physics experiments that were done with everyday objects and low-cost sensors: mechanical oscillations, transmittance of light through a slab of matter, beam deformation under load, and thermal relaxation due to heat loss. We used these experiments to train students for experimental homework projects but…

Woodward, Robert L.; Reid, Carolyn S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The use of video productions in chemistry courses, though pedagogically beneficial, is not sufficient in and of itself. Students must also be willing to engage with these productions, especially when the videos are meant to be viewed prior to a class. Accordingly, we describe herein the implementation of two simple but effective strategies to…

Semanko, Anna M.; Hinsz, Verlin B. – Teaching of Psychology, 2022
Background: Equal employment opportunity guidelines and concepts are important for increasing equity in the workplace. Given the large number of undergraduate students currently in or entering the workforce, it is critical to convey these concepts in a manner that increases student understanding of appropriate organizational behavior. Objective:…

Breen, Sinéad; O'Shea, Ann – PRIMUS, 2019
Research has shown that the types of tasks assigned to students affect their learning. Various authors have described desirable features of mathematical tasks or of the activity they initiate. Others have suggested task taxonomies that might be used in classifying mathematical tasks. Drawing on this literature, we propose a set of task types that…

Dark, Marta L. – Physics Education, 2021
In fall 2020, the Physics Department was tasked with coming up for a plan for optics, our one credit lab course. Because of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, our institution planned to offer a fully online fall semester, with no students residing on campus. The college announced the plan 5 weeks prior to the start of the semester. This paper will…

Zimmerman, Jane K. – PRIMUS, 2020
Standards-based grading (SBG) is an assessment/grading system that attaches scores to the mastery level of specific learning objectives. This methodology is gaining momentum in the K-12 environment but has been largely overlooked at the post-secondary level. In this paper, I will discuss the implementation of this practice in a College Algebra…

Pawlaschyk, Thomas; Wegner, Sven-Ake – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
In this note, we report on an implementation of discovery-oriented problems in courses on Real Analysis and Differential Equations. We explain a type of task design that gives students the opportunity to conjecture, refute and prove. What is new is that the complexity in our problems is limited and thus the tasks can also be used in homework…

Weisfeld-Spolter, Suri; Rippé, Cindy B. – Marketing Education Review, 2022
The pandemic has left students feeling unmotivated and missing class collaboration, resulting in an opportunity to create community. Creating community often occurs when eating food with others. Building upon the need to create community and to help marketing educators create a lesson that easily conveys the nuances of the consumer behavior buying…

Holbrook, Robert L., Jr.; Comer, Debra R. – Management Teaching Review, 2017
Creativity is more important than ever in today's knowledge-based economy. Although many students doubt their own creativity, very few exercises are designed to help them access this ability. We believe that self-expression and self-reflection are important for understanding personal creative ability. Jung introduced the mandala to promote these…

Krouss, Paul; Lesseig, Kristin – PRIMUS, 2020
Introductory and remedial courses in college mathematics often serve as a gateway to student success. However, these university courses have seen little innovation despite historically low success rates. We sought to address deficits of the traditional lecture model and enhance student learning in an introductory college algebra course through the…
