Safety, teamwork, and communication have becomemore of a focus in the ChE laboratories in recent years, and thus the resources to teach and assessthem have emerged. A similar effort to develop projects and materials that focus on topics thatare harder to assess may be required if they will be prioritized as important learning outcomes forthe ChE laboratory courses.Only 8 of the 73 faculty respondents provided an answer to the last survey question, addressingChE lab course objectives not covered in the list provided.

Furthermore, such an approach does not require thelarge training corpus of responses employed in state-of-the-art machine learning approaches tosemantic analysis [12]. Two potential drawbacks of the rule-based approach are that a domainexpert is needed to create the rules that govern the analysis of text, and the rules generated for oneproblem will not necessarily apply to other problems. As the overarching idea of the web-basedwriting exercise project is to create a template that instructors are able to use to construct their ownwriting exercises, these are not considered serious drawbacks.

While non-computing STEM majors suffer from the same lackof representation, it is important for researchers in computing to understand discipline-specificperceptions and experiences. Finally, the study did not account for other student identitiesoutside of race and gender. This excludes more nuanced analysis of results, based on multipleforms of oppression that students may (not) experience [21]. In addition, the computingcommunity lacks significant data collection efforts related to students with disabilities,highlighting the need to account for this important (and often overlooked) identity [22].This work-in-progress paper is situated within a broader ongoing project that seeks to answertwo research questions

self-efficacy is understood to be driving self-perceptions and eventually performance in those tasks. For instance, self-concept in calculus (i.e., a domain) can be expressed as “I am able to understand and follow along the calculus classes”, and self-efficacy in calculus (i.e., task performance) can be expressed by “I am confident I can score at least a B in the upcoming test”.The above definitions for both constructs are adapted from previous research and validating orverifying them is not within the scope of this project.
