Additionally, the pre-class activityand the learning objective assessment were conducted at opposite ends of the class. As aresult, the pre-class environment may contribute only marginally towards the total rapport-building process. It may be useful to identify other similar rapport-building activities thatoccur over the entirety of the class.Second, it is possible that some activities that build rapport for one instructor may becounterproductive for another instructor.

This improvement has not yet been empirically assessed, though the decrease inthe DFW rate is important because student persistence (defined as students’ continuance to thenext stage towards completion of their program) is a key challenge for many core engineeringcourses. In this study, the authors utilize rigorous cross-sectional regression methods todetermine whether this drop in DFW rates can be directly attributed to increased implementationof ABC features. More specifically, we ask the following two research questions: 1. Is there significant improvement in the DFW rate after controlling for other key student

To further compound this assessment of program success, the average latest GPAvalues of the STEPUP students from 1996-2007 were slightly lower than that of the generalstudent population and of minority non-STEPUP students.

Most engineering school in the country sufferfrom a ‘content overload’ condition. Engineering curricular are packed with a large amount ofcontent that must be covered before a student can graduate. Due to this issue, many believe thatthere is little time to teach students how to be academically success. More so, many faculty andengineering institutions seem to believe that students should enter engineering institutions withall the skills they need to learn and that it is not the responsibility of the college to teach studentshow to be academically success.
