federal funding has been allocated towards preparing ourstudents, teachers, and future professionals in the areas of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM)2. Much of the research associated with this funding has focused on K-12education and more specifically with increasing student achievement in STEM areas beginningin Kindergarten. This growing concern to increase student achievement has resulted in a pushfor practitioners to utilize what has been termed, inquiry instruction, in the classroom. The term inquiry has been used in numerous journal articles, textbooks, pre-serviceeducation courses, and professional development workshops. The National Research Councilidentified the use of inquiry as an integral part of

example, COMPASS exams are designed to be taken without preparation, butoften students do prepare for them, or take them several times, skewing the results. Also, thetiming of a placement exam can result in improperly placed students. At Boise State it is notuncommon that newly enrolled freshmen took their ACT or SAT one time only, in their junioryear of high school, because their scores at that time were sufficient for admission to theuniversity. Most students in STEM majors (science, engineering, technology and mathematics)go on to take a subsequent math course, resulting in more knowledge than revealed by their ACTor SAT scores. Other students, not destined for STEM majors, may choose to not enroll inmathematics in their senior year of high

Introduction There has been a concerted effort both nationally and at the local level to diversify thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and broaden participationfor individuals with a minoritized identity within each field (Basile & Lopez, 2015; NationalScience Foundation, 2020). Such efforts have permeated all educational levels starting in earlyelementary (e.g., enrichment programs) all the way into higher education and industry (e.g.,hiring practices, identity-affirming professional organization). Yet one of the well-documentedbarriers to diversifying the STEM discipline is the current and historical lack of diversity orrepresentation existing within STEM spaces, especially among STEM instructors who

Shockingly,this project was taken on without analyzing student data beforehand (other than the examina-tion of success rates).Research Questions 1) Does placement exam score, academic level, gender, whether the student is a STEM (Science Technology Engineering or Math) major, and the number of times the student attended tutoring during the semester affect student scores in calculus in college? 2) Does a student’s anxiety of math correlate with
