It has been shown that extra credit pop quizzes(ECQ) have many of the benefits non-extra credit pop quizzes (NECQ) without a significant increase instudent stress [12-15].Most students and teachers would agree that exams are an unavoidable evil to encourage learning. Whatcan we change to make exams a more positive learning experience? “Failure is instructive. The personwho really thinks, learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.” This famous quote iscredited to American philosopher John Dewey.

The level of psychological correlates, occupational competency and employment rateof female engineering graduates from 2007 through 2011 were analyzed as a function ofprogram participation. The results showed that the WIE programs not only improved theemployment ratio, but also improved psychological

Lackey et al.21 found that journal score of a course predicted the first year GPA. Thecorrelation was stronger for men than women students, whose better predictor was high schoolGPA. The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills

While the differences betweenexperimental and control sections were not statistically significant in Engineering Economy, theywere significant in Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering and Mechanics of Materials. It wasalso determined that a significant positive correlation existed between the scores on the pre-classresponses and the scores on the final exam in Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering andMechanics of Materials. These findings suggest that incorporating web-based pre-class readingresponses can be an effective way to improve student engagement and performance, particularlyin complex, concept-heavy courses.

The results showed that the students who received IBLAinstruction performed significantly better on conceptual and problem-solving assessments.This paper studies the use of hands-on IBLA models as pre-training learning activities forMechanics of Materials class used in a large public university in the United States. The impact ofthe IBLA as pretraining on students' performance is studied through descriptive analysis andstatistical hypothesis tests. Through delayed tests (delay means the tests - quizzes, midterm andfinal exams were administered at least a few days after the IBLAs instead of immediate tests), itis found that IBLAs have a stronger
