One study found that the general learningenvironment is also enhanced whereby instructors’ close interaction with students allow them tobetter pinpoint where weaknesses in student learning of course content lie [7]. Other benefits of oral assessments are that they may better reflect professional situationsthat students will encounter after graduating, such as job interviews where they must verballycommunicate ideas [4]. In this sense, oral exams may add depth to the range of communicationskills acquired by undergraduates [3]. They can also provide the opportunity for increasedinclusivity in the assessment process.

comments, that higher valueassigned to the embedded course appears to have arisen from multiple reasons. Students valued learning the differences between technical writing and generalwriting. After years of taking general writing courses, engineering students appeared to havea need to receive formal training and feedback on how to write as an engineer. Positivecomments about the embedded course reflected that need: “[the course] showed me thedifference between the way that writing was taught to me my who life and how technicalwriting should look,” “[the course] showed me that [technical writing] isn’t so easy that youcan just do it without learning about it,” “[the course] was very different than othertraditional writing courses,” and “[the

engage in those reflections needed to evaluate complex situations, which often involve socio-economic and political considerations. Case studies have been shown to be an effective way to do that, and an effective case study allows students to go beyond the simple facts of the case by looking at laws past and present, historical context, and current practice and lead them to make informed decisions [16]. This process not only enhances their analytical abilities but also encourages them to explore new dimensions of the engineering practice, facilitating that much needed shift to a more equitable and socio-centered engineering practice. This broader perspective encourages students to consider the

Can a predictive model be trained on the survey responses with sufficient accuracy compared to the baseline (in this case 50% for a binary classification) in classifying student GPA groups as TRUE or FALSE?2. If the answer is yes to question 1, does the model trained only on pre-intervention action state surveys have quantifiable levels of difference in accuracy when tested on the post- intervention responses? 3. If the answer is yes to question 2, is this difference in accuracy reflected in explainable and modest changes in false-positive ratios between the models trained and tested on different populations?To start answering these questions, we need to be able
