Designing evaluationmethods to also allow research into student learning and identity formation is a powerful way toaddress this inequity. Our aim was to understand students’ individual research experiences alongside theirconceptions of what science is and their self-assessments of identity, sense of belonging, and 1professional skills. These insights serve as indicators of more valuable outcomes of learning andprofessional development than the common over-focus in REU program evaluation on whetherinterns plan to attend

My research was messy, it was emotional, and it was not an easily divisible and logical process.” (Weatherall, 2019, p. 101)I itched to do something different in how I presented my work. I even planned to do a cross-stitch representation of each chapter at one point, buying cross-stitching supplies and everything.They never made it out of the package.

Student perceptions of the “no-code” software exercise were overwhelmingly positivebased on responses to survey questions before and after class, which indicated the approach hasmeaningful benefits for student learning.A significant portion of the case study exercise utilized in MATE 245 relied on direct instruction.Moving forward, we plan to develop guided-teaching resources so students can more easilyengage with the exercise outside of the classroom.

Planning and Task Clarification: This is the first step where detailed information about product requirements are collected, leading to the formulation of a requirements list. This list is pivotal in directing the design process and subsequent stages, necessitating frequent updates to accommodate ongoing changes and feedback.2. Conceptual Design: The conceptual design phase involves abstracting key problems to define a principal solution, later made more specific through material and layout choices for assessment. This phase is crucial as it lays the foundation for the solution
