. Satisfaction scores ranged from 3.5 to 3.9 on a 5-point scale, with nosignificant difference between mentors and mentees. Overall, participants were satisfied, citingacademic and non-academic benefits, such as emotional support and improved relationships. Foxand Stevenson [11] reported similar results when examining the effectiveness of peer mentoringamong accounting and finance students, where third-year mentors assisted First-Year mentees. TheFox and Stevenson [11] program aimed to enhance academic performance and develop transferableskills through semi-formal tutorials and meetings. Results indicated that mentoring positivelyimpacted academic performance, with mentors and mentees reporting significant benefits. Bhatiaand Amati [12]’s study of a

Mr. J and Mr. S, both white male teachers, have students from ethnically andlinguistically diverse backgrounds. Most of the students spoke English, and many spoke,understood, or were learning another language. At the end of the curriculum, learners made avideo journalism artifact for specific audiences about climate tech in Pepperville. Both siteshosted a screening day to view the students’ final journalism artifacts, which, for the Spring 2024implementation,were journalism videos.

There could also be investigations into whether students experience post-quiz anxiety or cognitive biases that influence their self-assessments.The pre-quiz predictions of the students tended to better at the end of the course compared to thebeginning. However, this was not the case for the post-quiz surveys. Also, the regressioncoefficient was fairly low, indicating only a small correlation. So, although there is a slight trendhere, there is little evidence to support the second hypothesis of students being better atpredictions at the end of the course.It was found that students in their early and mid 20’s tended to be the ones who underestimatedtheir abilities

While we recognize the shortcomings of utilizing the Q3 framework, it is widelyrecognized as an appropriate method of analyzing qualitative research quality in engineeringeducation.
