Excessive entitlement – an exaggerated or unrealistic belief about what one deserves – has been associated with a variety of maladaptive behaviors, including a decline in motivation and effort. In the context of tertiary education, we reasoned that if students expend less effort to obtain positive outcomes to which they feel entitled, this should have negative implications for academic performa...

After taking the red eye flight and a long taxi ride to your hotel and then the plant your arrive exhausted, but eager to solve this problem. Apparently the problem with this 165 L reactor is that the conversion of the reactant, Anychemical, is too low at XA = 0.53. ...

It is widely agreed that exams must be fair; yet what this exactly means is not made clear. One may mean fairness of treatment, but this merely propagates the fairness or unfairness of pre-existing rules. Fairness of opportunity on the other hand necessarily leads to identical grades for everyone, which clearly makes it inapplicable. Neither view is helpful to make decisions on competing claims...

First, we prove the function g is an injection (i.e., g is one-to-one). We need to prove that if g(m) = g(n) --(1), where m and n are two integers, then m = n --(2). Since g(m) (and also g(n)) can be defined by two different formulas depending whether the argument m (and n) is even or odd, we consider the following 3 cases: (Case 1) Both m and n are even. In this case, (1) implies 1 – m = 1 – n...

The present study investigated the neural responses to errors in a shooting game - and how these neural responses may relate to behavioral performance - by examining the ERP components related to error detection (error-related negativity; ERN) and error awareness (error-related positivity; Pe). The participants completed a Shooter go/no-go task, which required them to shoot at armed targets usi...

This work describes the impact of different teachers’ approaches in using Moodle, for supporting their courses, at the Polytechnic of Porto School of Engineering. The study covers five different courses, from different degrees and different years, and includes a number of Moodle resources especially supporting laboratory classes. These and other active resources are particularly analyzed in ord...

Gamification, the application of game elements to non-game settings, continues to grow in popularity as a method to increase student engagement in the classroom. We tested students across two courses, measuring their motivation, social comparison, effort, satisfaction, learner empowerment, and academic performance at four points during a 16-week semester. One course received a gamified curricul...
