# data[].attributes.body
Frequent writing is not popular among (science) students

# data[].attributes.body
Culminating experiences
eg: Portfolios, research paper, lab report

# data[].attributes.body
active involvement in systematic investigation and research

# data[].attributes.body
more appropriate for upper years? Lower years are busy trying to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the best ideas, hardest to get right. What are strategies to do it right?

# data[].attributes.body
team based assign. cooperative projects
solve problems and work together

# data[].attributes.body
integration of learning across courses
Big questions, integrated across disciplines

# data[].attributes.body
small group activities in class -- emphasizing problem solving students' critique of others' work

# data[].attributes.body
Use Calc 1 ideas to actually build models (roller coaster)

# data[].attributes.body
To explore the role of HIPs in relation to learning science and math in higher education.

# data[].attributes.body
Big questions, integrated across disciplines integration of learning across courses.

# data[].attributes.body
Would be more appropriate for 3rd or 4th year students who have the  background, writing abilities, specific interests...etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Building up the ability to critically think and evaluate through first and second year, then have the seminar course in later years

# data[].attributes.body
Discussed difficulties with budgets, lack of faculty with support to do research, students with the base knowledge ...

# data[].attributes.body
More comfortable for undergrads and helpful in research

# data[].attributes.body
Students can pursue their own personal interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Visiting each others' classrooms to align material (engineering and math, business and math, etc)

# data[].attributes.body
Individual vs. group projects? Department dependent?

# data[].attributes.body
The "big question" has to be relevant to the students and what they are doing and to their community

# data[].attributes.body
Let students pick their own groups, and keep size at 2-3 students

# data[].attributes.body
Student collect and analyze data. Linking lecture and experiments done in the lab together

# data[].attributes.body
How mandatory should these projects be? How long will they take?

# data[].attributes.body
co-taught courses: Hard to implement, difficult to coordinate, evaluation issues (risky)

# data[].attributes.body
Also difficult to find short-term projects

# data[].attributes.body
Because we don't have a huge post-grad community, there is more opportunity for undergrad students which is good experience moving forward

# data[].attributes.body
Promotes undergraduate research by requiring it for funding requests

# data[].attributes.body
Writing intensive course would also be challenging to evaluate - lack of TAs.

# data[].attributes.body
Volunteers and Work-Study students have plenty of opportunities

# data[].attributes.body
Cutting edge questions in scholarship are difficult for first year students, as they lack the background

# data[].attributes.body
forced groups, large grade impact - can go very poorly

# data[].attributes.body
1. What is 1 recommendation from Felder you can do in your teaching practice?

# data[].attributes.body
Small seminars are helpful for students to engage further in face to face with professors, and have time to absorb the information learnt in lectures

# data[].attributes.body
Difficult to manage limited space between all researchers and teaching labs

# data[].attributes.body
Learn beyond just how to pass the course

# data[].attributes.body
There are ways to make grades and work load even, but it is difficult and often more work for professors

# data[].attributes.body
5 HIPs -- choose 3
Discuss for 12-15 min each
How can this HIP work for Science at UFV?
