thedismay of this group of students, the professor had not allowed them to self-select project groupsand instead used group formation software to create heterogeneous groups. As their conversationprogressed, it became apparent that several of these male students had not previously been in agroup with a female classmate, and were not happy that they had to be now. In reference to thegirls in their class, they callously used names such as “annoying girl”, “space cadet” and “coffeebitch”. Their annoyance with the assigned groups was obvious except for one student whom theothers dubbed “lucky”; he was in a group with Nicki. Their conversation continued as follows:“Lucky” student: But he made it so most of the groups have a girl in themStudent 1: Yeah

large, end-of-semester project, online courses should offer many opportunities for quickfeedback. Having many small stakes assignments that continually build upon each other puts theonus on students to stay engaged and current with all course material. Researchers recommendbreaking large assignments into smaller segments; this allows for faster grading and morefeedback to students. Additionally, rubrics and grading schemes should be transparent to studentsso they fully understand expectations [5, pp. 179-182]. Another way to incorporate feedback isthrough gamification. Incorporating game-like qualities into online courses provides timelyfeedback and keeps student engagement high. The best way to gamify a course is to build arunning narrative

Professional organizationshave long served as spaces of support for the Black community. The larger project focused onthese two specific types of entities to understand how organizations centered on the professionaland civic commitment might differentially support engineers with a shared racial identity.However, there are many different types of spaces that students can engage in for support andcommunity, this study was designed to uncover the various spaces the Black engineeringstudents describe as counterspaces.

call their version of vectors and linearalgebra. The math expectations usually exceed typical computer science requirements, whichleaves instructors of game physics limited choices: showing formulas without derivation (a kindof “hand-waving”) teaching abstract concepts using physics APIs, e.g., [40, 50-53], reducingmathematical complexity, or perhaps raising the expectations to graduate level or beyond.Given that my students already tend to use physics APIs in group projects in other courses, Ihave concentrated on using smaller examples to develop mastery of the concepts. With regard tophysics APIs, I have a section of the course where students use an API, but I also warn thestudents—why use a sledgehammer when a ballpeen hammer will suffice

this research has focused only on students' difficultiesand only after some formal instruction [1], [2]. Constructivist theories encourage us to considerhow we can help students construct their own knowledge with the experience and knowledgethey bring to our classrooms [3]. The overarching research project had many goals, however,this paper will focus on just two main data-driven goals. The first is to understand whatproductive knowledge experienced students (students who had taken at least threeprogramming courses) bring to code reading that complete novices (students who have neverprogrammed or studied programming before) may not have yet as measured through code-reading accuracy, total reading times, and fixation heatmaps. The second goal

The virtual room audio was connected to the classroom audio system sothat the distance learning students could hear their in-person peers speak during the class andvice versa. In addition to the classroom audio-visual technology, the real-time chat functionalityof the virtual room was used to interact with the distance learning students in a more efficientway. An experienced graduate teaching assistant (GTA) moderated the chat throughout the classand answered most of the questions from the distance learning students.

Additionally, as vacancies increase, so too does the need for studentswith graduate degrees (master’s and doctoral level) in the field [4]. However, in the United States(U.S.) participation in graduate schools is more commonly from international students. Accordingto the survey by the Computing Research Association in 2019, almost 70% of the master’s degreesin computer sciences and 80% in engineering were awarded to international students [5].Meanwhile, 62% of the Ph.D.’s in computer sciences were awarded to international students,followed by 67% in engineering [5].
