Student Contribution to Academic Learning – A Mathematical Analysis Integrated Science Honors 3-4 1. In both Physiology and Integrated Science Honors, learning activities can be broadly distributed into three categories: lecture/discussion; labs/activities; homework. Your work in each area contributes to your overall learning of important concepts and topics (note: this is an analysis of learning, not grading). Estimate the relative contributions of each of those three categories to YOUR learning. The total percent contribution should be expressed as a decimal value and must equal 1.0: Learning Category Relative Percent Contribution Lecture/Discussion (LD) Labs/Activities (LA) Homework (HW) 2. In order for learning to occur in each of the categories, there needs to be a contribution from both teacher and student. Estimate the relative contribution of teacher and student in each area. The percent contribution must be expressed as a decimal value and the total percent contribution in each category (ie. the Lecture/Discussion category) must equal 1.0. Learning Category Percent Student Contribution (S) Percent Teacher Contribution (T) Lecture/Discussion S LD = T LD = Labs/Activities S LA = T LA = Homework S HW = T HW = 3. Use the following mathematical formula to calculate the total contribution of student to your overall learning. Student Contribution = [(LD)x(S LD )] + [(LA)x(S LA )] + [(HW)x(S HW )] Student Contribution to Learning

Student Contribution to Academic Learning – A Mathematical Analysis Integrated Science Honors 3-4 1. In both Physiology and Integrated Science Honors, learning activities can be broadly distributed

into three categories: lecture/discussion; labs/activities; homework. Your work in each area contributes to your overall learning of important concepts and topics (note: this is an analysis of learning, not grading). Estimate the relative contributions of each of those three categories to YOUR learning. The total percent contribution should be expressed as a decimal value and must equal 1.0:

(HW)

2. In order for learning to occur in each of the categories, there needs to be a contribution from both

teacher and student. Estimate the relative contribution of teacher and student in each area. The percent contribution must be expressed as a decimal value and the total percent contribution in each category (ie. the Lecture/Discussion category) must equal 1.0.

3. Use the following mathematical formula to calculate the total contribution of student to your

overall learning. Student Contribution = [(LD)x(SLD)] + [(LA)x(SLA)] + [(HW)x(SHW)]

4. Use the following mathematical formula to calculate the total contribution of teacher to your

overall learning. Teacher Contribution = [(LD)x(TLD)] + [(LA)x(TLA)] + [(HW)x(THW)]
