beneficial. During Autumn 2023, in addition to knowledgetransfer, AGOH evolved into a social space where students could relax, connect with peers, seekcareer guidance, expand their professional networks, and stay engaged with the teaching team.This was particularly significant since many of these students belonged to engineeringdepartments other than that of the teaching team. Many of these connections persist even a yearafter the course has been offered.Beyond weekly instructor AGOH, EE 215’s main components include weekly TA-led labsections and office hours, regular homework, two midterm exams, and a comprehensive finalexam. By examining how AGOH affect students in our local context, we hope to inspireeducators to consider experimenting with and
, especiallyprivate colleges and minority-serving institutions, to validate and broaden the findings.Longitudinal studies tracking student success over multiple semesters would help establishcausal relationships between accommodations and academic outcomes.References[1] Couzens, D., Poed, S., Kataoka, M., Brandon, A., Hartley, J., & Keen, D.
