Introduction: Career advising for medical students can be challenging for both the student and the adviser. Our objective was to design, implement, and evaluate a "flipped classroom" style advising session. Methods: We performed a single-center cross-sectional study at an academic medical center, where a novel flipped classroom style student advising model was implemented and evaluated. In this model, students were provided a document to review and fill out prior to their one-on-one advising session. Results: Ninety-four percent (95% CI, 88%-100%) of the medical students surveyed felt that the advising session was more effective as a result of the outline provided and completed before the session and that the pre-advising document helped them gain a better understanding of the content to be discussed at the session. Conclusion: Utilization of the flipped classroom style advising document was an engaging advising technique that was well received by students at our institution.Note

Parameter Advising for Multiple Sequence Alignment(The University of Arizona., 2016)The problem of aligning multiple protein sequences is essential to many biological analyses, but most standard formulations of the problem are NP-complete. Due to both the difficulty of the problem and its practical importance, there are many heuristic multiple sequence aligners that a researcher has at their disposal. A basic issue that frequently arises is that each of these alignment tools has a multitude of parameters that must be set, and which greatly affect the quality of the alignment produced. Most users rely on the default parameter setting that comes with the aligner, which is optimal on average, but can produce a low-quality alignment for the given inputs. This dissertation develops an approach called parameter advising to find a parameter setting that produces a high-quality alignment for each given input. A parameter advisor aligns the input sequences for each choice in a collection of parameter settings, and then selects the best alignment from the resulting alignments produced. A parameter advisor has two major components: (i) an advisor set of parameter choices that are given to the aligner, and (ii) an accuracy estimator that is used to rank alignments produced by the aligner. Alignment accuracy is measured with respect to a known reference alignment, in practice a reference alignment is not available, and we can only estimate accuracy. We develop a new accuracy estimator that we call called Facet (short for "feature-based accuracy estimator") that computes an accuracy estimate as a linear combination of efficiently-computable feature functions, whose coefficients are learned by solving a large scale linear programming problem. We also develop an efficient approximation algorithm for finding an advisor set of a given cardinality for a fixed estimator, whose cardinality should ideally small, as the aligner is invoked for each parameter choice in the set. Using Facet for parameter advising boosts advising accuracy by almost 20% beyond using a single default parameter choice for the hardest-to-align benchmarks. This dissertation further applies parameter advising in two ways: (i) to ensemble alignment, which uses the advising process on a collection of aligners to choose both the aligner and its parameter settings, and (ii) to adaptive local realignment, which can align different regions of the input sequences with distinct parameter choices to conform to mutation rates as they vary across the lengths of the sequences.

THE ACADEMIC ADVISING NEEDS OF UNDERGRADUATE ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJORS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA.(The University of Arizona., 1983)According to the five functions of academic advising as outlined by Morris (1973), this study investigates the specific academic advising needs of elementary education majors as perceived by elementary education students and faculty advisors at The University of Arizona. In addition, the unique advising needs of elementary education majors, those advising needs which are currently being met, and those advising needs which are not being met, are identified. Lastly, suggestions for improving the quality of academic advising for elementary education majors are examined. Twenty-five elementary education majors of senior standing admitted to the College of Education and twelve elementary education faculty advisors are individually administered an oral semi-structured questionnaire. Interview responses are categorized according to the five functions of academic advising, the unique advising needs of elementary education majors, advising needs which are currently being met, advising needs which are not being met, and suggestions for improving the quality of academic advising. The findings indicate that those advising needs which are specific to elementary education majors are contained within the functions of providing accurate information and long-range program planning. The advising needs identified within the functions of discerning the purpose of the institution, short-term course selection, and facilitating student development are generic in nature with no specific referent to teacher education. The unique advising needs of elementary education majors are identified as: (1) helping students to determine their suitability to the profession, (2) developing interpersonal skills, (3) developing communicative competence, (4) making decisions concerning program options, and (5) facilitating professional development. Advising needs which are being met are those related to program planning. Advising needs which are not being met are those related to determining suitability to the profession and facilitating professional development. Suggestions for improving the quality of academic advising for elementary education majors include the recognition of advising as a faculty priority and facilitating students' professional development needs. . . .
