Thus, to the extent that studentswho struggle in engineering are disproportionately underrepresented students [3]-[4], it isimportant to examine all aspects of engineering education that could potentially weed thesestudents out, including assessment.Little research has been done to examine the effect of assessment practices on underrepresentedgroups in engineering. Oftentimes, underperformance has been thought of as a failure of thestudent rather than a product of inequities and harmful practices within the methods ofassessment and reporting themselves [5]. As this research reveals, students report that assessmentand reporting practices greatly impact their confidence levels, and

. Existing work has typically employed quasi-experimental approaches and/or collected data using a single class or time sample. There isevidence [5, 6] that student learning networks extend beyond classrooms; these studies suggestthat overly bounded approaches may not capture the range of potential effects of studentcollaboration. Further, existing research has often compared individual student’s network traitsto a net or aggregate performance (i.e., average course grades or average performance on a test)[7]. These group level performance comparisons have further limited the discovery of individualand contextual group work effects.

Also, TAs did not engage in end of class wrap ups. Since this is a shortclass, there is often not enough time to wrap up the session and students are often ending atdifferent parts of the worksheet.

Next, the groups were invited to pick a second object and repeat the process. The groups were given the option of combing their two source objects into one new creation, or to fully start over with their new product. Students were also given less time to work with their second object than they were given with their first. The goal of repeating the exercise with less time was to fully instill the concept of creating from source media as well as to allow students to engage in non-judgmental idea generation.3.
