Objective: Snacks, stress and parties all contribute to the weight gain – the elusive ‘Freshman 15’ – that some college-goers unfortunately experience. The present study examines how à la carte snack choice changes on a university campus during each progressing week of the academic calendar.

In this thesis, we present an approach to perform measurements in the worldwide research network PlanetLab. We describe a framework for developing and deploying Java applications on PlanetLab and show how it can be used to develop data gathering applications. In particular, we implement a latency and a bandwidth test of which we also present some ndings derived from its analyses.

This document describes the motivation, language description, and experience using FrIL, an intermediate language for a compiler's \middle-end". FrIL has successfully supported a two-semester compiler construction sequence, where the rst semester included code generation from a C-like language and the second semester included advanced data ow analysis and program transformation.

Using a cross-panel design and data from 2 successive cohorts of college students (N = 357), we examined the stability of maladaptive perfectionism, procrastination, and psychological distress across 3 time points within a college semester. Each construct was substantially stable over time, with procrastination being especially stable. We also tested, but failed to support, a mediational model ...

This study examinedhow students who had no prior experience with videoconferencingwould react to the use of videoconferencing as an instructional medium. Students enrolled in seven different courses completed a questionnaire at the beginning of the semester and again at the end of the semester. Students at the origination and remote sites did not differ in their reactions toward videoconferenci...

This study examined students’ grade expectations over the course of a semester. Students provided their expectations at 3 times: within the first week of the semester, midway through the semester, and within the week just prior to the final exam. Results demonstrate that expected grades decreased over the semester and that the rate of change interacted with students’ cumulative grade point aver...

PURPOSE In our context, problem-based learning is not used in the preuniversity environment. Consequently, students have a great deal of difficulty adapting to this method, particularly regarding self-study before the reporting phase of a tutorial session. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to assess if the application of an assessment test (multiple choice questions) before the reporting p...
