Thisresulted in ineffective learning when compared to traditional face-to-face learning environments”(p. 294). 82 students in the Qatar study participated in written reflections about their experiencesand eight students were interviewed. The students felt that the emergency remote learningenvironment needed to “be supported by teaching activities that involve more participationthrough interactive activities and teamwork” [15, p. 13].

. There is aseparable outcome one is trying to obtain or avoid, such as a reward or punishment. Commonexternal factors are grades or evaluations, which are metrics that have been constructed to“measure” a student’s success and serve as motivation for improvement. Another type ofexternal factor can be derived from another person, such as the opinion of a mentor, friend, orpeer. Intrinsic motivation comes from internal drives and is defined as doing an activity for itsinherent satisfaction [12]. These actions reflect ideas like core values, personal interests, andone's sense of morality. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are considered to be part of the "locusof causality," meaning they are the perceived sources of motivation.The study of rural

In the nineteenth century, women participated in aspects of science butmainly engaged in data-gathering rather than idea-creation [26] and were largely invisible andconcentrated in nurturing career tracks [39]. Prior to the 20th century and beyond, womensupported science but not pioneers in the field; reflective of the patriarchal society they lived in.Commonly known as biological determinism, the physical, psychological, and intellectual natureof women prohibited them from producing great science [38]. The Nineteenth and earlyTwentieth centuries posited if women were incorporated into scientific employment, they weresegregated in it with stereotypes of appropriate sex roles

futureprojects after receiving their feedback from CP 1.The decrease in scores for CP 3 can be attributed to the type of project it is compared to the other projectsin the course. It is the truss analysis program that introduces some linear algebra concepts that studentshave not had much exposure to, and the code theory does not follow the same method as handcalculations for trusses. Also, the route for verification and exploration is more open-ended than the otherprojects (at least that is how students view it) and this is reflected in their overall scores. The value of thisproject, however, can be built upon in future courses for more complex system analysis and often studentsreflect on this project as they get into those upper-division classes.There

ForBlack Feminist theorists, this means that the experiential knowing that occurs in situ establishesthe basis for relationships.
