For example, providing CSt with priority course registration,[21] an option sometimes offered to student athletes, would likely make it easier for CSt to plan acourse schedule that meshes well with their childcare arrangements. Policies that allow CSt aleave of absence could be helpful.[43] Support for CSt is often ad hoc,[24] although formalpolicies (e.g., for lactation time and space) may benefit students.

The breadth of concepts that a ChE course must cover in its syllabus, especially one thatis part of the core curriculum, limits both the amount of time and instructional strategies thatlesson plans or homework can prescribe to a particular concept[2], [3]. This in turn can detractfrom students’ targeted practice on a particular concept to either not sufficiently demonstrate allcontexts or attempt to do too much at once within problems that can then strain the number ofcognitive tasks students can successfully complete[4].

However, this initial enthusiasm requires careful moderation to prevent it fromeclipsing the core content goals and to mitigate the risk of activity fatigue, which can emerge fromrepetitive LbE use. A critical issue noted was the difficulty in connecting these engaging activities withthe design thinking framework comprehensively. During the Explore phase, LbE effectively facilitateddesign ideation, promoting hands-on exploration. Yet, the efficacy of this phase hinged on the structureddelivery of LbE sessions.
