Each surveyconsisted of the student-generated ID, a series of demographics questions adapted from thecampus equity survey plus program and academic year, the Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS)survey instrument [4], and an open question asking students why they chose to participate in theevent. The surveys were given to participants at the start of each event and again near the end.This study was approved by the institutional research ethics committee.In total, 68 students filled in the first survey (53 from the TIC event, and 15 from the WiE event),and 10 filled in the second

Additionally, NMF exhibited higher recall rates in capturing positiveinstances, while PCA showed better precision and overall balance between precision and recall.Moving forward, further research is necessary to refine these NLP techniques for educationalcontexts and to optimize the role of the domain expert in the hybrid approach. Additionally,ethical considerations surrounding the use of NLP in educational research, such as studentprivacy and potential biases within algorithms, should be addressed in future work. This paper,however, has laid additional groundwork for implementing NLP techniques

and experience. While this can create challenges for all participants, the typicallearner has strong expertise in their chosen field, strong work ethic, and considerable maturity asadult learners which serves them well in graduate programming [29], [30]. This leads toproductive discussions of practical applications of data analytics, learners helping other learners,and unexpected insights.The expectation that a learner who has never written code in any programming language canlearn Python in one semester is a high bar. For example, a learner might feel that code that is“almost” right (e.g., using a semi-colon instead of a colon in a Python “if” statement) should“almost” work. This can lead to frustration.Given this frustration, it is

STEM students as well as the major barriers to STEM students’success. This study provided insight into the qualities of successful STEM students andidentified possible barriers that lead to attrition problems within the STEM field. One of themain findings for student success was that successful STEM students possessed several skillsthat were not necessarily discipline specific but were more general and applicable acrossdisciplines [6]. In general, these beneficial skills were personality trait related such as curiosity,inquisitiveness and strong work ethic [6]. Other domain-specific skills were also identified asinfluential to STEM student success, such as strong written and oral communication skills andstrong information synthesis skills [6
