Nearly 50 students havingearned their master’s of science degrees via the online program. This growth is in part due toexplicit theory-driven attention to pedagogy, recruitment, mentoring, and facilitated guidance.Similar to our resident students, our online students have faculty research advisors and conductmasters-level research projects.

The opportunityto offer peer feedback further exposes students to the rules and expectations for conceptmapping. This scaffolding approach is expected to improve the quality of the pre- and post-evaluation of the concept maps during module implementation.Furthermore, reflective writing is a useful tool for having students reflect on their personalexperiences while surprisingly teaching students empathy.

Common STEM barriers include a lack ofmentors and role models; lack of awareness and understanding of STEM opportunities; and lackof academic preparation for STEM degree programs.

Thosestudents who better self-regulate their studies by managing their time properly, being conscious oftheir learning and social behavior, being critical in examining course content, and persevering inunderstanding the learning material are most likely to better perform online [19].

Grades provide a standardized andstructural means of providing this recognition or judgment. All too often, instructors use gradesas one of the sole means to give students feedback, without attention to coaching and other formsof feedback not tied to the “carrot” or the “stick” of a specific grade.As grades represent a point of continuous and structurally endorsed feedback for students, themessaging sent by the grade that students receive can overwrite their own self-concept, i.e.whether they are good at the subject matter or have the
