transition from secondaryto tertiary mathematics takes time. [1],[2]. If the student was accelerated in secondarymathematics, it’s possible the student did not have the time to obtain a deep understanding ofmathematics [1]. Learning loss experienced in the liminal phase, which occurs between highschool and college, is a factor [1]. Once the student is in college, they must manage their time formathematics study and practice [1], and it takes time for the student to build their newcommunity [2].MethodologyThe methodology is similar to Leathan and Winiecke [4]. The records were initially pulled froma Google Scholar citation report. Then searches using bibliothèque search engines followed. Forthis analysis, all citations of the Theoretical Model [1],[2

However, such opportunities were absent in the schools examined, and are more likelyto be the exception rather than the norm for students.5.3.9 Students: Managing ExpectationsStudents frequently observed a lot of variability in what they encountered relative to what theyhad expected. They noted differences between larger and smaller companies, and cautionedstudents against going in with preconceived notions.

What environmental factors motivate or discourage cybersecurity students' enjoyment and engagement in online courses? 2. What external influences limit students’ ability to learn from their cybersecurity courses? The survey responses provided quantitative results to identify patterns and trends in the data.

Itssimple geometry and boundary conditions make it ideal for introducing mechanical engineeringstudents to numerical methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly theNavier-Stokes equations.
