Confidence in answers is known to be sensitive to the fluency with which answers come to mind. One aspect of fluency is response latency. Latency is often a valid cue for accuracy, showing an inverse relationship with both accuracy rates and confidence. The present study examined the independent latency-confidence association in problem-solving tasks. The tasks were ecologically valid situation...

OBJECTIVE Using Skype and remote standardized patients (RSPs), investigators sought to evaluate user acceptance of a web-based objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) among resident physicians. METHODS After participating in four web-based clinical encounters addressing pain with RSPs, 59 residents from different training programs, disciplines and geographic locations completed a 52-...

This paper explores students’ experiences with a flipped classroom in first-year engineering mathematics course 118 students. While most students were satisfied the and expressed appreciation for flexibility, freedom independence induced by teaching method, other frustrations. Based on two surveys both open-ended closed-ended questions, this possible reasons why can be source of frustration. So...

I was interested in looking at patterns among a small set of universities to see if any interesting patterns existed. The reason the dataset ended up being small (21 Universities) was because the data had to be collected by hand. Some universities keep their records in what is known as the Common Data Set Format. A handful of these universities publish these yearly reports on their website, ran...

Flexible digital library systems need to be able to accept, or “import,” documents and metadata in a variety of forms, and associate metadata with the appropriate documents. This paper analyzes the requirements of the import process for general digital libraries. The requirements include (a) format conversion for source documents, (b) the ability to incorporate existing conversion utilities, (c...

The field of bioinformatics is developing faster than most biochemistry textbooks can adapt. Supplementing the undergraduate biochemistry curriculum with data-mining exercises is an ideal way to expose the students to the common databases and tools that take advantage of this vast repository of biochemical information. An integrated collection of exercises based on pet proteins has been assembl...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association between the format of physicians' opening questions that solicit patients' presenting concerns and patients' post-visit evaluations of (i.e., satisfaction with) the affective-relational dimension of physicians' communication. METHODS Videotape and questionnaire data were collected from visits between 28 primary-care physicians and 142 adult patients with...

Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges to education systems across world. Faculty at a public university participated in survey aid defining and stress factors experienced with ERT. Eighty-three percent of faculty participating indicated they were stressed Linked included course organization satisfaction, capturing student learning, energy move an o...
