This file set is the basis of a project in which Stephanie Pywell from The Open University Law School created and evaluated some online teaching materials – Fundamentals of Law (FoLs) – to fill a gap in the knowledge of graduate entrants to the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme. These students are granted exemption from the Level 1 law modules, from which they would normally acquire the basic knowledge of legal principles and methods that is essential to success in higher-level study. The materials consisted of 12 sessions of learning, each covering one key topic from a Level 1 law module.The dataset includes a Word document that consists of the text of a five-question, multiple-choice Moodle poll, together with the coding for each response option.The rest of the dataset consists of spreadsheets and outputs from SPSS and Excel showing the analyses that were conducted on the cleaned and anonymised data to ascertain students' use of, and views on, the teaching materials, and to explore any statistical association between students' studying of the materials and their academic success on Level 2 law modules, W202 and W203.Students were asked to complete the Moodle poll at the end of every session of study, of which there were 1,013. Only one answer from each of the 240 respondents was retained for Questions 3, 4 and 5, to avoid skewing the data. Some data are presented as percentages of the number of sessions studied; some are presented as percentages of the number of respondents, and some are presented as percentage of the number of respondents who meet specific criteria.Student identifiers, which have been removed to ensure anonymity, are as follows: Open University Computer User code (OUCU) and Personal Identifier (PI). These were used to collate the output from the Moodle poll with students' Level 2 module results.

Data showed that this self-selected sample of graduates (N=38) had acquired new and diverse skills while completing the WHM.

ABSTRACT The health care model based on the Family Health Strategy, created in the early 1990s, encouraged changes in health education, highlighting the need to create lato and stricto sensu postgraduate courses aimed at empowering professionals that foster comprehensive health care. Periodic evaluations are carried out and encouraged by Capes/MEC in order to maintain the quality of postgraduate courses, but evaluations of recently-introduced professional master’s degree courses in family health remain scarce. Objectives To describe the academic profile, contribution, motivations and expectations of graduates of a Professional Master’s in Family Health. Method Cross-sectional and quantitative study to analyze the results of 102 questionnaires answered by graduates of the Professional Master’s Degree in Family Health of the Estácio de Sá University (RJ), who had concluded the course between 2007 and 2012. The instrument consisted of open-ended and closed-ended questions, sent by e-mail and made available online through the electronic platform Survey Monkey. The study evaluated age, gender, regional origin, academic background, as well as the contributions, expectations and motivations related to the course. Results The survey sample was formed predominantly by female graduates, aged over 30, from 13 Brazilian states and, mainly from Medicine and Nursing courses. The contribution of the master’s degree to the graduate’s professional life was evaluated as excellent by 77% of the interviewees. The expectations regarding the course were positively evaluated and the main reasons for seeking the qualification were scientific-technical improvement and personal satisfaction, rather than better salaries or job stability. Conclusion The course was evaluated positively by the graduates, having exceeded their expectations and satisfied the interests that led them to it, thus producing changes to their personal and professional life. A longitudinal analysis of the impact of the professional master’s degree in the career of graduates will require a sequence of similar studies, as has been stimulated by Capes/MEC in recent years.

The International STEM Graduate Student Survey assesses why international students are coming to the United States for their graduate studies, the challenges they have faced while studying in the US, their future career plans, and whether they wish to stay or leave the US upon graduation. According to the Survey of Earned Doctorates by the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, international students accounted for over 40% of all US doctoral graduates in STEM in 2013. The factors that influence international students' decisions to study in the US and whether they will stay or leave are important to US economic competitiveness. We contacted graduate students (both domestic and international) in STEM disciplines from the top 10 universities ranked by the total number of enrolled international students. We estimate that we contacted approximately 15,990 students. Individuals were asked to taken an online survey regarding their background, reasons for studying in the US, and whether they plan to stay or leave the US upon graduation. We received a total of 2,322 completed surveys, giving us a response rate of 14.5%. 1,535 of the completed were from domestic students and 787 of which were from international students. Raw survey data are presented here.Survey participants were contacted via Qualtrics to participate in this survey. The Universe of this survey data set pertains to all graduate students (Master's and PhD) in STEM disciplines from the following universities: Columbia University, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Michigan State University, Northeastern University, Purdue University, University of Southern California, Arizona State University, University of California at Los Angeles, New York University, University of Washington at Seattle. Data are broken into 2 subsets: one for international STEM graduate students and one for domestic STEM graduate students, please see respective files.

"Faculty Perspectives on a Collaborative, Multi-Institutional Online Hydrology Graduate Student Training Program" by Anne J. Jefferson, Steven P. Loheide, and Deanna H. McCay. Submitted to Frontiers in Water, in the research topic: “Innovations in Remote and Online Education by Hydrologic Scientists", May 2022

Abstract: The CUAHSI Virtual University is an interinstitutional graduate training framework that was developed to increase access to specialized hydrology courses for graduate students from participating institutions. The program was designed to capitalize on the benefits of collaborative teaching, allowing students to differentiate their learning and access subject matter experts at multiple institutions, while enrolled in a single course at their home institution, through a framework of reciprocity. Although the CUAHSI Virtual University was developed prior to the covid-19 pandemic, the resilience of its online education model to such disruptions to classroom teaching increases the urgency of understanding how effective such an approach is at achieving its goals and what challenges multi-institutional graduate training faces for sustainability and expansion within the water sciences or in other disciplines. To gain faculty perspectives on the program, we surveyed water science faculty who had served as instructors in the program, as well as water science faculty who had not participated and departmental chairs of participating instructors. Our data show widespread agreement across respondent types that the program is positive for students, diversifying their educational opportunities and increasing access to subject matter experts. Concerns and factors limiting faculty participation revolved around faculty workload and administrative barriers, including low enrollment at individual institutions. If these barriers can be surmounted, the CUAHSI Virtual University has the potential for wider participation within hydrology and adoption in other STEM disciplines.

In this article, we explore the use of two published datasets for teaching a wide range of students about regression models, with a particular focus on interaction terms. The two datasets come from recent psychology studies on beliefs about poverty and welfare, and about the dynamics of groups projects. Both datasets (and their original research papers) are accessible to students, and because of their context, students can learn about data collection, measurement, and the use of statistics when studying complex social topics, while using the data to learn about regression analysis. We have used these data for a range of in-class activities, journal paper discussions, exams, and extended projects, at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

The COVID-19 data sets and associated Jupyter Hub notebooks are support for a manuscript describing how data science was shown to be effective in developing a transdisciplinary team and the production of novel outputs in part due to the common learning process of all team members being part of an online professional data science and analytics master’s degree program. This online curriculum helped the team members to find a common process that allowed them learn in common (Kläy, Zimmermann, & Schneider, 2015), transdisciplinary learning a key component of transdisciplinary teamwork (Yeung, 2015). Our team's Jupyter Hub files with complete coding and data set explanations are uploaded to document this teamwork and the outputs of the team.

Along with the Elbe river, Dresden comprises a dense network of streams, which are spread out across its fabric. Presently, the streams are secluded from being a valuable part of the city. The problems are characterised by ecological issues, inappropriate land use by residents, and artificial channeling. They, along with the Elbe river hold potential to become elements of integrating the ecological and social functions of the city by reclaiming the historical identity of waterfronts and restoring natural habitats. Therefore, there arises a need to understand how to integrate these streams into the network of protected green areas and public spaces, while maximising their contribution to biodiversity while adapting to the risk of flooding within and around the city.

These concerns and identified potentials beg the question that, how can urban streams be restored and integrated in Dresden's fabric, such that there is a synergy between human activities and the natural environment?

This is investigated by adopting an integrated approach for biodiversity, climate adaptation and quality of life.

Based on the three criteria that we decided to tackle, we came up with numerical indicators that we could use to evaluate them. These numerical indicators are called attributes and have to be normalised—in our case between 0 and 1—so that they can be compared, weighted and thereafter clustered properly depending on their relevance and similarities.

The spatial units used in this study are hexagons with a dimension of 250 meters. The study area of Dresden is divided using a complete surface of a hexagonal pattern. Then it is overlaid with the water stream network and river body from OpenStreetMap to keep only the hexagons that intersect with at least one stream. Finally, the isolated hexagons were removed.

Two data-driven methods were used to conduct the analysis:

• S-MCDA (Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) — S-MCDA was used to weigh the different attributes against each other. The method supports decision-making by evaluating and ranking alternatives (the attributes) within the three objectives of biodiversity, climate adaptation and quality of life.
• Typology Construction — Typology construction is used to group attributes into homogenous types based on similarities. This was used to identify patterns in data and make clusters of attributes that show similarity, which can thereafter be used to understand the type of interventions which would be impactful.

This dataset contains both the values computed for the attributes in each spatial unit and the final results of the two methods.
