, many of the students would have been taught relatively little of theCalculus material covered in Math 231. As students in Math 231 are learning much ofthe material for the first time, they may approach the PLTL groups in a more open-minded fashion, and may be more receptive to the learning tools and additional work thatthey are gaining in the groups. Whereas, if students in Math 116 believe that they alreadyknow much of the material, they may be less interested in devoting effort to incorporatingPLTL group activities into their studies and achieve less benefit from the groups. Asmentioned previously, facilitators in Math 105 PLTL groups have frequently encounteredthis attitude. Engineering freshmen in Math 105 often believe that they fully

Supports will likely include math and writinghelp sessions, connections to faculty/industry mentors, career preparation activities, info sessionsfrom the veteran resource office, in addition to other resources identified by students.

The results from this study also suggest that students who are self-regulated, keep theirgoals in mind, know what they are doing and why they are doing it, feel competent to do whatthey are supposed to do, and do their work as expected will do well in the class. The implicationsof these findings suggest the importance of motivation, self-regulation, and self-efficacy in
