Peer debriefing works torelate one’s research conclusion to a peer more distant from the data to explore alternativeconclusions that may have been overlooked. Built-in probing interview questions and/orrespondent validation, in which the participant is asked to elaborate or confirm their position, isanother way to mitigate misconnections (Maxwell, 2013). In unforeseen situations wheretraditional knowledge may conflict with the research, community, traditional, and culturalsensitivities will be respected and supported.Memo writing is serving to track the analysis process which would support repeatability andprovide additional

First, we observe that anonymousgrading can lead to better grades for certain ethnicities (Ethnicity 2). Secondly, we observe thatanonymous grading does not lead to better grades when considering gender.

In Olin College’s largely project-based curriculum, students spend much of their time in design teams. These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member. As larger numbers of students with identified non-visible disabilities enter engineering schools, and engineering schools increasingly adopt project-based design courses, the

Parents instill in theirchildren habits and methods for remembering that help propagate important aspects of theirculture. Indeed, the “I” often internalizes values and beliefs from important others, including notonly parents but also friends and mentors [15], [18]. As Thorne puts it, “families and friendscollude in self-making” [16], [10].Life stories can also be influenced by more intentional interventions. Studies have shown thatpeople who write their life stories can experience an increase in self‐esteem [17], improvedmental health and well-being [18], [19], and a greater sense of agency and control over their lives[20].
