. This suggests that peer review could provide effectivefeedback [26]. Further, Saterbak et al. found that peer review resulted in the perceivedimprovement of the students’ ability to critique [26].We hypothesize that our implementation of peer review leads to positive student attitude andincreased achievement. More specifically, our research questions are: 1. Do students provide high quality feedback in this instructional setting? 2. Does the quality of feedback change over time? 3. Do students produce higher quality written work as a result of the peer review process? 4. Is there a favorable student attitude towards the peer review process from the viewpoint of: a. the critic, and b. the critiqued

Thiswould not only allow us to meet the growing demand for engineers in West Michigan, but itwould be well aligned with our program’s student-centric focus. To prepare the students for thegraduate-level engineering work, an exhaustive list of prerequisite undergraduate classes thatstudents must take has been approved. While each applicant’s curriculum is tailored, GVSU’sSchool of Engineering developed a general plan to onboard students from a variety of non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants are granted conditional admission to thegraduate program predicated on completing the prerequisite classes with a B or better grade.These plans allow the

different GPA student groups pairwise, we foundmore middle-performance (B and C range GPA) students expected high stress from oral exams,compared to high-performance (A-range GPA) and lower performance (below C GPA) students(p-value = 0.0005 for A and B students, and p-value = 5e-06 for A and C students). 52% ofB-range GPA students and 64% students agreed or strongly agreed that the stress from oralexams would be excessive, compared with 43% A-range students.Students’ prior oral exams experience also impacts their expectations of stress. A pre-surveyquestion asked the students how many times they have had oral exams before, with answers of “never”, “yes but not for credits”, “once/ twice”, “several times”, and “many times”.

The surveyquestions split motivational factors into (a) intrinsic goal orientation, (b) extrinsic goal orientation,and (c) task value. Learning strategies can be categorized into more specific groups, includingcognitive methods such as rehearsal, organization, and critical thinking. Students may expectsuccess in different forms based on their motivations, which can be associated with their self-efficacy and self-regulation. The overarching research question is, what are the associationsbetween undergraduate engineering students' motivation and learning strategies? This studycollects data from a single engineering discipline from thirty-five undergraduate
but made substantial modifications tohow they used the models in response to student feedback from fall 2023 and to align more withtheir teaching approach in general. While they planned to have the same total number ofactivities, they adjusted the scope of each worksheet to be more manageable in the class time andemphasized holding a group discussion on the concept questions at the end. They also providedadditional reference photos of completed models and numerical answers for students to use ascheckpoints for understanding during the class period. This allowed groups to evaluate theaccuracy of their work and proceed through with less bottlenecks waiting for instructor feedback.The other instructor (Instructor B) came to this project with

This work is also situated within the transnationalism framework [11] because wecollected narratives from scholars across different ethnicities who are employed at differentinstitutions within the US. Transnational space generally indicates the impact of intersectionalrelationships in a geopolitical context. The idea of transnationalism challenges the rigid andbinary idea of nationalism that defines the modern nation-state. The definition oftransnationalism, in contradict the idea of nationhood and posits a significant shift in theunderstanding of borderlands and national identities, moving towards more synergistic activitiesthat are host country-specific.
