Consequently, team members use the PME structure to hold each other accountable.Continued low performance on PME can substantially reduce capstone grades for individualstudents.PME provide students with a framework to work as professionals and, therefore, manage theirteams effectively with minimal intervention from advisors. These skills are essential tosupporting an entrepreneurial mindset. Students use PME to document problems such as lack ofparticipation or limited contributions by a team member, allowing for earlier intervention, ifnecessary. Over the past several years, the

Eachlesson presents a single section of the report (introduction, scope, results etc.). Students watch ashort video (~15 minutes) prior to attending class that covers the basic content of each section.The videos also serve as a reference when they are generating their final report later in thesemester. The class period is dedicated to activities where students will revise writing samplesusing the think-pair-share format. After strengths and weaknesses are identified, students willpractice writing and revising writing in small groups. Instructors facilitate large groupdiscussions

These areearly indicators of students’ enhanced academic habits of mind. If the trend continues, then it isexpected that the students will have higher scores on metrics of academic habits of mind andachievement after entering into their second year of college (figure 3).

Some respondents noted feeling less isolated than they had prior to COVID-19 becausethey had not developed strong relationships with peers, instructors, TAs and other groups, sothey felt the playing field was more level. Students identified a variety of factors that made them feel most disconnected amidCOVID-19. Many centered around a lack of close interaction with people on campus. Studentsreported coming to campus less, and when they attended in-person classes, being seated far apartmade organic conversation unlikely. An additional outcome was decreased

The intention behind using this nudge strategy is to allow studentsto compare their behavior with their peers. The description of the mechanism used to deliverthis nudge strategy is as follows: First, after the end of each lecture, the student will benudged to write the reflection with a general message in the push notification, i.e., “Lecture(Number) is open to write a reflection for (class code).” We will name this nudge Reminder1.0 for future reference.For the second push notification, students will be nudged with a message after six hours, i.e.,“Reminder!
