Specialization-Specific Course Assessments Integrated for Program Assessment

The Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments ( RISA ) Program : crafting effective assessments for the long haul

Climate variability and change significantly influences the health, prosperity, and well-being of individuals, societies, and the environment. For the United States this has been demonstrated, most recently, by several high impact events such as the 1997–98 El Niño event, the hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005, the ongoing drought since 1999 in the Southwest, falling Great Lake levels, and the ...

Program Specialization via Program Slicing

This paper concerns the use of program slicing to perform a certain kind of program-specialization operation. We show that the specialization operation that slicing performs is different from the specialization operations performed by algorithms for partial evaluation, supercompilation, bifurcation, and deforestation. To study the relationship between slicing and these operations in a simplifie...

Use of course-embedded projects for program assessment.

We report here on a quarter-long group project used in a neurophysiology course that can be used for either purpose. Small groups of four to five students critically analyze at least 10 articles from the primary scientific literature. The end result of t...
