A number of possible causes for this have been examined;Laanan et al. found in a survey of transfer students that many felt less comfortable interactingwith faculty at their new institution, and some felt increased stress and received lower grades [3].Concannon and Barrow found that engineering transfer students have lower self-efficacy thanfirst-time freshman, which was theorized to be due to transfer shock [4].A systematic literature review [6] was unable to locate research on transfer students after theirfirst post-transfer year, although the same

Besides time-availability constraints, a major challenge that has now been somewhat overcome was how toincorporate into the text the necessary volume of physical data without infringing copyright ofpublished commercial textbooks. Because of these delays, the work has not been yet shared withstudents for feedback, comments, or their assistant in content creation. It is anticipated that aworking version of the OER will be ready by the end of summer 2022 for use in our Fall 2022courses with two cohorts of approximately 150 students in total.At that point, pending clearance by our institution’s

CEAS is working to identify additional supportprograms to complement the gains that have already been made. Part of this work involvestrying to establish traits shared by successful (and non-successful) students.For the past two fall semesters, first-year students in CEAS have been recruited to complete astart-of-semester survey that includes questions related to aspects of their personality as well asself-efficacy and mindset.

tendency becoming more towards the theoretical from the practical. Many faculty overthe years have regretted the loss of the "hands on" experience of lab work. Theory courses mostoften lack the hands-on experience that is given traditional lab courses and do not resonate wellwith the students without the lab component [4].In order to rectify the problem, software simulations have been proposed to replace the labcomponent. While simulations can be used to reinforce concepts, they could not adequatelypresent problems that students could encounter in a real laboratory, nor would they provide theappropriate hands-on experience necessary for effective learning [5], [6]. Despite the fact that thecourses can greatly be supported by simulation tools

All students inthe Math 152 track complete workshops each week in an effort to develop effective problem-solving strategies and written mathematical explanation skills. These problems often requirestudents to do additional research, connect graphs, tables, and equations, and provide supportingdetails beyond merely solving a problem. In addition, the workshop problems force students tobe metacognitive in order to make personal connections to learning [15]. Students submittedapproximately one or two workshops each week to their instructor for a grade which drew onboth mathematical accuracy and written explanation. An example of a
