group has an especially high confidencein their understanding of class topics.Table 14 shows a breakdown of final grades in the course. The highest concentration of gradesfor distance students was at the ‘C’ grade, with over 10% of distance students in the D/F/Wcategory. In contrast, no on-campus students finished in the D/F/W range and over 80% finishedin the ‘A’ or ‘B’ ranges. With the exception of the semester project, the average grade forcampus students was higher in each of the grading categories than for distance students(homework, exams, final exam). The difference was smallest on the final exam (72.9% vs.72.5%) and largest in the homework category (108.1% vs. 91.4%). The greater than 100%average on homework for campus students reflects

They did not find any differences inmen and women engineering students’ scores in quadrants A, B, and D; but found womenscoring significantly higher in quadrant C. The quadrant C thinking preference (teamwork skills)of women students creates uncomfortable classroom climates for them. Further, women studentswere found more adept at the professional skills such as communication and team skills34,harboring positive attitudes toward roles and responsibilities, and having better

We have further divided the ‘during college’phase in three areas; academic, social, and professional integration based on prior work by Leeand Matusovich16, who undertook a multi-case study of six programs for under-representedstudents to develop a model for co-curricular support based on Tinto’s institutional departuremodel. The model included integration at academic, social, professional, and university levels.We excluded university integration as we did not find any solution in our review in that category. We summarise the solutions in Appendix b and describe them in the forthcoming sectionsbased on the four phases. We
