The differencebetween women and men’s mean scores is consistently positive across all twenty screenerquestions, indicating that women consistently felt greater levels of stress about home life, career,physical health, mental health, and academics compared to the men. In general, the mean scoreswere highest, for both men and women, for academic related prompts.To better understand these differences, t-tests were performed for every item with the nullhypothesis that the two population means are equal.

workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

Dibbs’ manuscript was interesting; she studied 8students who were required to repeat calculus at the beginning of their STEM careers, and whoexperienced formative feedback the second time. Through interviews, Dibbs found that participantsidentified three primary reasons for their success the second time around: (1) processing their initialfailure, (2) having a better instructor, and (3) participating in formative assessments. In her analysis, shefound that formative assessment is what caused the cognitive and behavioral engagement benefits. Thesestudents later succeeded in STEM, with 6 eventually receiving a math major or minor.In summary, effective use of formative assessment has the potential to high-information feedback thathelps
