It is our plan to recruit underrepresented students forthe project in the future. In order to obtain the results with more statistical value, more studentswill be needed in these projects in the future. It is thus necessary to outreach local high schools forstudent recruitment. In addition, feedbacks from high school teachers are needed to further makethe project more doable to average high school students, including the minority students.

We can compare the actual and thepredicted talk times using figures 3 and 4. Corresponding to analyses from confusion matrices, it canbe seen that PC and SC classes are predicted lesser than their actual duration while AD is predictedto have higher talk time than is the reality. With better precision, these details can be useful toteachers in planning their classes for improved participation and more equitable talk time among theparticipants. Figure 3. Actual talk time for

Their studies would continue by distance learning.Faculty had similar instructions — immediately shut down your research and teaching labs, sendyour graduate students home (if possible), abandon the campus (as it was about to be completelylocked down), and prepare to teach remotely. For some, the latter requirement was thrust uponthem without adequate preparation so they had to muddle ahead. For others, their universitieshad previously introduced their faculty to distance learning didactic concepts as a matter ofcourse, so for those faculty the transition may have been a lot smoother.

While we did do a large amount ofdesign work and planning prior to the beginning of the quarter, our designs and deploymentswere interwoven.We found ourselves iterating our designs on at least three timescales: across quarters, within thequarter, and in the moment. At the largest timescale, we made design decisions about theimplementation of the course that differed from prior instantiations of the course. We were alsoiterating substructures of the course at an intermediate timescale within the quarter. For example,the “design workbook” mentioned prior was created for each of 10 assignments and author
