and measure their course preparedness. Welch's t-test was also used to determineif there was any difference in the students' performance on the common final exam.For the test anxiety Likert questions, a score ranging from 5 to 20 was obtained by summing thescores for all five questions, with 1=almost never and 4=almost always. Paired t-tests wereperformed for both grading methods to identify any changes over the semester after taking thecourse. In the case of the self-efficacy questions, scores for each category (e.g. masteryexperience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and physiological state) were averaged afterbeing set on a scale of 1=definitely false to 6=definitely true. Paired t-tests were performed forboth grading methods to

investigated. Demographic information for thetotal analytic sample is as follows: 76% self-identified as men, 95% White, 50% were onEngineering Track 1, 30% were on Engineering Track 2, and 20% were on Engineering Track 3.Measures Engineering Self-Efficacy. Students’ confidence in their ability to complete necessarysteps for obtaining their engineering degree was measured using a three-item instrumentdeveloped by Lent and colleagues [45]. The items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1-noconfidence to 5-complete confidence) where participants indicated their level of confidence intheir ability to complete each step necessary to obtain their engineering degree. Engineeringself-efficacy scale scores were derived as the average of all items
