They reportelevated rates of anxiety (41%) and depression (39%) in the sampled community, suggesting thatgraduate students are six times as likely to experience depression and anxiety compared to thegeneral public. Likewise, students have not been passive in their dissatisfaction with the state ofthe academy. In recent years, student labor organizing [11], labor strikes, and general protestmovements have become common reflecting the general themes of modern politics including themultiple epidemics of sexual harassment [12], [13], racism [14], [15

[22] used NLP to identify bias,unseen relationships, and missed coding opportunities among teachers’ responses regardingquestions related to the digital divide. The authors first used traditional methods of qualitativeanalysis to arrive at a set of thematic codes, then they used NLP techniques to cluster the surveyresponses and examined the semantic content captured by these techniques. They compared thethemes resulting from the traditional approach to those arrived at through NLP to identifyincongruities associated with errors and inconsistencies among human coders.Our study focuses primarily on the fourth broad category of using

The interdisciplinary or even transdisciplinaryapproach for developing and analyzing empathy embedded in engineering education provides alink to expand into other analysis techniques, such as discourse analysis.Others have certainly seen the benefits of discourse to think through empathy in education.Warren [20], for instance, reflects on the ways that adopting different, critical classroomdiscourses is important for creating and expressing a culturally sensitive and empatheticdisposition.

By focusing on only part of the full-length report, the grading burden is also reduced. Direct and indirect assessments of students’ technical writing skills were carried out inthree semesters of the implementation of the ‘scaffold peer review’ approach in a junior levellaboratory course. Results of the assessments show significant improvement of the technicalwriting skills of students. Students’ reflection on about this approach and their perception abouttechnical writing in general also confirmed the positive impact of this approach.

Thus, the format of assessment, rather thanthe rigor, quality, or intended learning can have undue effect on educational outcomes.

In this context, we do not consider the oral assessmentprimarily as being part of a summative assessment strategy. Instead, it is designed to be a touchpoint for a meaningful one-on-one interaction between a student and a member of theinstructional team. The value of early interventions for at-risk students is to increaseconnectedness to instructional staff and resources, and student engagement and self-efficacy. Theoral assessments were implemented explicitly with this focus.
