The second part of the data analysis will focus on student surveys performedat the end of the semester. This survey was designed to measure vital components of overallcourse effectiveness with finer granularity, including students understanding of topics such as therole of electrical engineers and their impact on society. Finally, the first cohort of students thattook this course are graduating this year, by analyzing the numbers it can be seen that theretention rates have been increased from 54.8% in 2008 to 80%.IntroductionRetention is a major concern

Furthermore, they give instructors a false sense of being informed about theirstudents; they would think that the data provided them an accurate picture of how their students’writing is improving. Even worse, quantitative tools tend to have a negative impact oninstruction, leading students to believe that writing instruction is a formulaic process related tothe completion of technically accurate sentences with no accumulative meaning (which they feelthey cannot do; one reason why they will say that they prefer science) rather than the mastery ofthe communication situation (which is something
