Once the structural features ofthe summaries were identified, one of the second authors read the summaries looking for thesame structural elements to confirm the structural patterns. Then the board comments/scores were also collected for the semesters used to identifyany patterns of improvement. This strategy did not work out as planned due to a few anomaliesinvolved in the semesters included in the study. There was no clear evidence of improvementbetween the semesters studied.

It should also be noted that a few students commented in the survey that theywished lecture had provided more guidance as to how to layout reinforcing prior to beamfabrication. While the request is understandable, the variety in reinforcing configurations alsoadded a creative component and a wider sample of results. This would not be the case iflectures had a more prescriptive approach to reinforcement for the lab. The individuals thatrequested this may have brought down the score for lecture preparedness slightly, but the overallscore was still strong and there are no plans to modify this approach in future

AR helped students to be more engaged in solving the problems. However,several students indicated that the activity was “exhausting” and they were “lost” during theactivity. The authors believe that this can be improved by streamlining the practice and trainingstudents in the use of the tool.The responses of students to the self-efficacy questions showed that there was no statisticaldifference in assisting students in understanding the problems.
