theirintern(s). For example, they had to actively encourage confused interns to ask questions.Similarly, the mentors learned that the interns were not always willing to admit when they didnot understand new material. I learned that I should encourage students I am working with to ask more questions earlier on and that I should be more active in confirming that my explanations are adequate. I can do this by asking the student to write in words what I have asked them to do or to show me after they do the first step. I learned that even when a student says they understand and gives a one sentence summary it does not necessarily mean that they understand. I have learned to think from the student side and make

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena.

Astin’s involvement model shows thatthe academic performance of a student is directly correlated to their involvement level within theircollege or program [2, 3]. Tinto theorizes that poor integration into the many facets of college life,including academically and socially, is an early indication of a student having a higher risk ofdropping out [4-6]. Finally, Swail et al.’s analysis of minority retention in institutions of higherlearning yields the Geometric Model of Student Persistence and
