human-in-the-loop approaches to more complex, multi-topic analysis of open-ended responses from students and teachers prompted their use in this study. Like many otherstudies, our work relies on thematic analysis to facilitate effective use of NLP in the processingof qualitative, text-based feedback from students. Unlike many previous studies, however, weapply NLP at a broader scope. Instead of asking students to reflect retroactively on theirexperiences in a particular course, we open the door wider, asking them to identify anything atall a TA could do to better support their learning.MethodsThis study is part of a larger, single-institution research project, which used a survey toinvestigate the connections between different forms of support

These subtle differences in classroom culture had large impacts on students’identity in science and their participation in scientific practices. Importantly for all of thesepoints, the design of the learning environment is not the only culprit; students must take upelements of the learning environment in their interactions. Design activities are co-constructedbetween the instructor’s choices and the students’ interpretation of them.Participants and Curricular ContextThis study took place within the ConnecTions in the Making project.

(Brad, Hispanic or Latino/aman)In spite of his familiarity with entrepreneurship, Brad noted that he did not want to pursue it as acareer because of the difficulty associated with acquiring the resources necessary to run acompany. We note the difference in the confidence levels, knowledge, and interest in a career inentrepreneurial pathways, between participants like Penny, Gustavo, and Cesar on the one hand,and Ron and Brad on the other. We view this difference as a form of cultural capital, whereformal and informal knowledge of how a particular pathway works is a piece of acculturationthat allows access to that pathway. In this case, acculturation and confidence also seemconnected to traditional forms of privilege, where

Traditionally, homework assignments have taken on many forms: projects, readingprompts (in selected articles or chapters from a textbook), or responses to question from a givensource [3]. In recent years, however, many qualities of the homework format have been altered.These aspects include digital submissions or digital assignments entirely. Students have reportedhigher scores from these digital methods, but previous data analysis suggests there are nodifferences between this and the physical forms of homework [32].

. Some studies suggest that students who are membersof racial/ethnic minority groups underrepresented in engineering will have more awareness ofsocial problems [55], [56]. However, a study by Bielefeldt applying the PSRDM failed to findsignificant differences among engineering students of different racial/ethnic groups [52]. Thus,we do not have clear expectations regarding the relationship between the race/ethnicity ofcomputing students and social responsibility attitudes, although we include these variables in ouranalysis.3.

teaching effectiveness is inherently problematic for a number of reasons, includinginability to disaggregate increases and decreases in performance in different areas, year-to-yearvariation in what the students enter with, difficulty insuring exams test the same thing and at thesame level each year, and possible instructor bias that leads to grade inflation. The absence ofstandards at the university level is unfortunate, as they have substantially enhanced formativeassessment and descriptive feedback in K-6 education [1].Since the present study was not (at the outset) intended as a formal educational research project,many of the methods used by educational researchers to document teaching effectiveness, suchas tracking individual student

For example, structural analysis requires a strong knowledge of staticequilibrium.

Furthermore, such an approach does not require thelarge training corpus of responses employed in state-of-the-art machine learning approaches tosemantic analysis [12]. Two potential drawbacks of the rule-based approach are that a domainexpert is needed to create the rules that govern the analysis of text, and the rules generated for oneproblem will not necessarily apply to other problems. As the overarching idea of the web-basedwriting exercise project is to create a template that instructors are able to use to construct their ownwriting exercises, these are not considered serious drawbacks.

notrestricted to computing students. While non-computing STEM majors suffer from the same lackof representation, it is important for researchers in computing to understand discipline-specificperceptions and experiences. Finally, the study did not account for other student identitiesoutside of race and gender. This excludes more nuanced analysis of results, based on multipleforms of oppression that students may (not) experience [21]. In addition, the computingcommunity lacks significant data collection efforts related to students with disabilities,highlighting the need to account for this important (and often overlooked) identity [22].This work-in-progress paper is situated within a broader ongoing project that seeks to answertwo research questions

self-efficacy is understood to be driving self-perceptions and eventually performance in those tasks. For instance, self-concept in calculus (i.e., a domain) can be expressed as “I am able to understand and follow along the calculus classes”, and self-efficacy in calculus (i.e., task performance) can be expressed by “I am confident I can score at least a B in the upcoming test”.The above definitions for both constructs are adapted from previous research and validating orverifying them is not within the scope of this project. This study agrees with previous findings[7], [44], [45], [46], that state self-concept is a prime predictor for favorable academic outcomesand well-being as a student. Self-efficacy, although crucial for an individual’s
