Even the disability studies field excluded many typesof impairments until relatively recently [4]. Also, some argue that physical disability (likequadriplegia) and illness/disease (like multiple sclerosis) should be two different categories [5].Invisible disabilities (like learning disabilities) can be missing from historical records altogether,making research on their histories

You are placed in the middle of difficult situations and are expected to handle them. You have a bigger understanding of the problems of the department and because of that you end up doing more things like mentoring and supporting other students that are not even yours. You must also navigate this promotion and/or tenure process, and still be a mother. Now add to that being a mother of a SLD child and there is this skewed judgment about you.

It provides a simple way to assess the sentiment of a piece of text by assigning a sentiment score to it, ranging from -1 (most negative) to 1 (most positive), with 0 indicating a neutral sentiment. NLTK is a versatile library that allows more control over the sentiment analysis process, but it requires more manual effort and expertise compared to libraries like TextBlob. • Deep Learning: Deep learning models [21] for sentiment analysis are more sophisticated and capable of capturing complex patterns in text data, making them potentially more accurate than shallow

In this study we only report the raw gradeswith no points back. For this trial, we also conducted a survey on student attitudes towards teststructure and test-related anxiety. It is important to note that the third exam was issued afterstudents were given a very accurate estimate of their projected grades. This caused a change intheir strategy for answering the test, where students who knew they were going to comfortablypass the course took future assessments less seriously.

The course was taught traditionally in Fall 2019 and fullyimplemented as an IODE course for the first time in Fall 2021. We began developing draft lessonplans in Fall 2019, starting with materials provided by NSF Project Award #1431641: TeachingInquiry-Oriented Mathematics: Establishing Supports. The same semester, we held conversationswith faculty who teach courses for which ODE is a prerequisite to identify content that is mostessential, and who recommended problems and activities that are more specific to engineering.In Spring 2020, we held mock lessons with previous ODE students to implement and thenmodify drafts
