and experience. While this can create challenges for all participants, the typicallearner has strong expertise in their chosen field, strong work ethic, and considerable maturity asadult learners which serves them well in graduate programming [29], [30]. This leads toproductive discussions of practical applications of data analytics, learners helping other learners,and unexpected insights.The expectation that a learner who has never written code in any programming language canlearn Python in one semester is a high bar. For example, a learner might feel that code that is“almost” right (e.g., using a semi-colon instead of a colon in a Python “if” statement) should“almost” work. This can lead to frustration.Given this frustration, it is

These successful connections between peers contribute to student persistence [19].While such programs are often initiated to meet immediate student needs, such as questionsabout the curriculum, understanding of course material, etc., there are long-term effects on boththe students being served and the students doing the serving [7]. These effects include increasedcognitive development, communication skills, internal motivation, intrinsic fulfillment, strongerrelationships with faculty and staff, increased understanding of institutional policies andstructures, increased “awareness of professional and ethical issues,” and an “enhanced sense ofbelonging” [7].

STEM students as well as the major barriers to STEM students’success. This study provided insight into the qualities of successful STEM students andidentified possible barriers that lead to attrition problems within the STEM field. One of themain findings for student success was that successful STEM students possessed several skillsthat were not necessarily discipline specific but were more general and applicable acrossdisciplines [6]. In general, these beneficial skills were personality trait related such as curiosity,inquisitiveness and strong work ethic [6]. Other domain-specific skills were also identified asinfluential to STEM student success, such as strong written and oral communication skills andstrong information synthesis skills [6

Some believe that the use of artificial intelligenceto complete coursework is an academic integrity violation and should not be used, while othersbelieve artificial intelligence can be used ethically and within academic integrity standards to be aresource for students. And of course, there are academics that stand somewhere in between.
