Odafe [33], for example, reflecting on his experience with administering oralassessment in an algebra course, observes “when students feel that their contributions are valued,they will start to 'own' and value the subject of mathematics and this could indicate a turningpoint in student attitudes towards the subject.” Boedigheimer and colleagues [34], whoconducted oral exams across multiple courses in the same field, similarly recognize “studentswho performed well appreciate the immediate praise.” In her thermodynamics course, Zhao [35]found that students who volunteered to take the oral exam “tended to feel that the class was

Role transitionsor identity enactment encompass how one reconstructs themselves as they disengage or exit fromone role and engage with the next role (role entry). Identity enactment may occur sequentially orsimultaneously and focuses on routines and behaviors [1],[3], [21]. The circular references in[Fig 2, Appendix I] reflects passage of simultaneous experiences and development during roletransitions. As the identities evolve, identity content and context, definitions of self,relationships between identities directly impact how individuals are able to feel, perceivechanges, react or

)IntroductionThe diversity of the U.S. population is changing with predictions indicating that by 2050 therewill be no “majority race.” Already, Latino and Black communities make up 30% of thecountry’s population [1]. However, this current level of diversity is not reflected in the STEMfields. In engineering, there has only been a small increase in Hispanic graduates from 8.5% in2011 to 11.9% in 2019 and almost no increase in Black graduates (4.2% to 4.3%). Over 50% ofthe engineering graduates nationwide continue to be White [2]. Increasing diversity in STEM isrequired to solve important problems faced by society through a wider array of solutions [3].Unfortunately, Black, Latino, and Indigenous youth often close the door to STEM careers earlyin their
part of a hands-on activity to numerically evaluate the eigendecomposition of various matrices representing images, students were asked to evaluate the effect of varying the percentage of the total number of eigenvalues used in image reconstruction. Critically, students were provided with images showing a diversity of skin tones, hair colors, and background colorations. In class-wide reflections after this activity, several students expressed surprise and amazement that the choice of where to terminate the spectrum of eigenvalues in the image reconstruction (a decision that seems entirely value-neutral, in mathematical principle) can
hooks reminds that a central component of feminist work is to raiseour own consciousness and reflect on the ways that we each benefit from patriarchy [21]. Assuch, we must begin to consider how our own preferences for “smoothness” results in additionalwork and suffering for others. Additionally, what kinds of “inclusion work” are eliminatedbecause they are presumed to be “inefficient”? If we reframe efficiency as occurring at thecommunity level, as opposed to the individual level, many “inclusion” activities can be justifiedas contributing to the long-term efficiency of the group. However, in many cases, hooks maintains that doing feminist work will require rejectingthe privileges granted by intersections of whiteness, maleness, and

caregivers indicated that theirchildren gained some confidence to experiment with simple materials through engaging in theseactivities.Following from the success of the summer camps, we wanted to experiment with otherapproaches to getting youth and families engaged. In reflecting on the activities we produced, werealized that the majority of the activities we created involved the science and engineeringaspects of STEM but very little inclusion of technology. This was a purposeful choice since wedid not want access to technology tools to be a barrier to participation. However, as we thoughtof ways we might extend the impact of CoBuild19, we decided to create an online club to try outengaging kids in Grades 5-8 in both engineering, design and computer
yearssurveyed at UST). Overall this reflects well on the work that is being done to attract and retainwomen; however, it is unclear what factors are causing these levels of enrollment. In an attemptto explain some of the effect, we investigated the rate at which women are retained within theengineering discipline (88% of women who intend to study engineering graduate in the major)and the amount of time it takes for them to graduate (82% graduate in four years). The number ofwomen retained in the discipline was not meaningful different than the number of men, butwomen did graduate faster than men on average.An additional investigation was made which assessed the breakdown of faculty by genderrelative to the number of female students enrolled in

They also should be able to analyze simplesingle-stage transistor amplifiers. In future EE343, course material will focus more on Evaluatingand Creating level in the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Thus, an oral exam in EE343 could betterevaluate their higher level of understanding. However, some studies find that anxiety andunfamiliarity during the oral exam will affect students’ performance, and the exam result will notcorrectly reflect students’ actual level of understanding. On the other hand, studies also found thatusing oral exam methods at the Undergraduate level still offers great

thissoftware is still available for home use to this day. Before the pandemic, students had to come tocampus to access the software. For some long-distance commuters this was a very challengingtask.Dividing the eight cohort sections into four subgroups results in some small numbers persubgroup for a given semester, but the general trends exist in most every semester so it ispossible to generalize the findings. However, there is not a recent control group (where theresubmittal policy was not used) so it is difficult to see if the effect of allowing resubmittals isdramatic.The use of the initial exercise score as a parameter to separate subgroups is far from perfect.Exercises are part of the learning process and exercise scores are not truly reflective

Consultants were being presented as exemplary students.Thus, it was strongly desired that students of as many cultures, gender identities, backgrounds, andacademic majors could see themselves represented. Most students asked were excited to take part andagreed. Those who declined expressed a lack of availability as the reason. After finding a set of seven Consultants, a brief and informal training session was run. Thesession consisted of a lunch discussion about how to best help students. The discussion was led by theauthor but was allowed to progress naturally. Consultants were asked at the start to reflect on previoustimes where they sought formal or informal help on classwork or where they provided such help. We thendiscussed when those

ThinkingAbstractComputational devices are an integral part of our daily lives that underpin our social, political,and economic livelihood. The field of computer science has the potential to be an equalizing forceif all members of society have the opportunity to participate in it. For example, there is a growinginfluence of automation, specifically technologies that involve artificial intelligence (AI) andmachine learning (ML), on transforming the way we live and work. Reflecting this growinginfluence, there is also an increased demand for individuals with skills and knowledge to navigatean AI/ML-enhanced workplace. However, there remains a disparity between those able to benefitfrom such changes in workforce demands. As such, finding ways to address this disparity is
to revise the themes. Using Harvey’s process provided the first author andparticipants an opportunity to improve the qualitative credibility of the study. Qualitativecredibility is an aspect of qualitative research quality that refers to dependability, trustworthiness,and expressing a reality that is plausible or seems true [70]. During each subsequent interview,the participants not only engaged in a process known as member reflection; they also co-analyzed the data with the first author, as described below. Member reflection refers to a processthat allows participants to share, question, critique, and provide feedback or dialogue [70].The participants and the first author repeated the data collection and analysis process.
