unusually large population of students who were homeschooledwhen they graduated from high school (about 1/5 of students university wide and 1/4 of studentscurrently enrolled in the School of Engineering and Computer Science). In this paper, I investigatethe retention rate and calculus readiness for homeschooled students entering the School ofEngineering and Computer Science as compared with their non-homeschooled peers.In this study, I hypothesized that homeschooled students might have a different likelihood tosucceed in engineering school compared to their non-homeschooled peers. The results of the datastudy support this hypothesis and suggest that homeschooled students are more likely than othersto succeed in engineering school, with retention in

oftraditional textbooks, although the latter were allowed to be used. Through short tasks thatwere designed to be initiated and terminated during in-classroom sessions, mostly to beworked in peers, we cover three general moments in the designed learning experience: ashort introduction, a discussion and a closure argument with general feedback by the end ofeach assignment.Each guide has different learning objectives: 1.

differentiates the course from the traditionally taught MAT 1130Precalculus I course. The main differences include the added lab hour for the brief review of thefoundational and fundamental College Algebra concepts and the implementation of activities asboth group work and/or board work. These activities had students up, moving, conversing, andworking together to complete tasks within the classroom and lab. Figure 2 provides an exampleof the simple additional reading/writing questions attached to particular content quiz questions.
