question is “Whichphase(s) are present at point G and in what fractions?” A figure would be included in this questionin which students interpret and use to answer the question.In the traditional class, there were three high stake exams which means a student’s final gradein the class relied heavily on these exams. The percentage of each test in the traditional classcontributed to 75% of total grade, 25% for each of the three exams. Figure 4 shows thepercentage of incorrect questions according to type, split up by the three different exams fromthe traditional class. When observing the total percentage of questions wrong, Figure 4 showsthat students struggled the least with Exam 1, the second least with Exam 2, and the most withExam 3. Figure 4

did not experience changes during their internships during the summerof 2020. Although from an economic perspective, PPE might appear to be non-consequential, forconstruction, the additional PPE is an additional cost. More importantly, the difficulty in findingwork that was identified is quite essential. This finding indicates that internships during times ofeconomic change, whether sudden or due to an ongoing recession, affect students. Additionalresearch is required to determine if all recessions affect internships, as they are often required aspart of graduation requirements.References[1] Barr, A., Turner, S.E. and Danziger, S.(2013).
