We ran sixstep-wise logistic regression models predicting persistence in Years 3, 4, and 5 (Models 1 – 6),since doctoral students who drop out without receiving a PhD in these years have investedsignificant time and energy towards their degree. Additionally, we ran six step-wise logisticregression models predicting completion in Years 4, 5, and 6 (Models 7 – 12), which were themost common years of graduation for participants in our dataset.

described here.Discourse AnalysisDiscourse analysis is a qualitative method that allows for systematic analysis of textualdocuments. Discourse refers to “certain ways of using language, acting, interacting, behaving,believing, using tools, sign systems, and so forth, which characterize a particular community”(Allie et al., 2009, p.361). It can be defined simply as “language in use to do something” (Jones,2012), where the meaning is derived from the social practices in which the discourse isembedded (Gee, 2004). Discourse conveys thought in a way that is “somehow prior and moreessential than language” (Lerman, 2009, p.1). Gee says that “words have histories” (2004, p.54),and their meaning in the present is an artifact of the past, an outcome of past

There are four factors affecting student motivation: purpose,competence, autonomy, and community [5, 6]. To improve student attitudes towardschemistry, all four of these aspects should be addressed. While teaching chemistry toundergraduate students is known to be a challenge, student performance improves whenstrategies to implement active-learning are used [7, 8]. Case studies are useful tools for engagingSTEM students in active-learning [9]. For example, an undergraduate green chemistry coursesuccessfully used several case studies

The approach uses ill-structured problems toreflect realistic scenarios that students encounter when they become professionals, rather thantextbook-type problems with known solutions. Gallagher et al. [2] defined the role of the teacheras a facilitator and students as self-directed learners in this approach. The concept hinges onlearning occurring within small groups; and the given problems as the tool to enhance skills inproblem solving. The given problem is intended to stimulate self-directed learning [2]. Overall,the aims of problem-based learning include collaborative and interdisciplinary problem solving,critical thinking, active learning, and motivation for learning [1], [3].Though often interchanged in
