(2) How does the course level affect the performance ofstudents in demographic groups shown to be significant in RQ1? Herein, it is shown that theprogression through an academic career affects students differently based on their demographics.Male students of color are shown to be the group most negatively impacted by certain effects.This work seeks to counter the common anecdotal fallacy that academic preparedness is theprimary driver between disparities in success as it is observed that gaps widen and narrow withtime through the academic levels
