slight increase in drowsiness. One participantfelt the video was longer than in actuality, while the other two felt it was shorter than in actuality. Theclinical immersion video (see appendix Table 5) elicited an average level of engagement at 6.33, with twoof the participants beginning to feel bored at around 10 minutes. No participant fell asleep, one felt adrowsiness level of 7 out of 9 while the other two did not experience any drowsiness from watching thevideo. Interestingly, all participants felt that the video was longer than in actuality.Discussion:Due to issues during data acquisition, the EEG statistical analysis was inconclusive despite observingstatistical difference in subjects 2 and 3 (see appendix Table 1).

The long-term goal of the study is to collectand analyze cross-institutional data to investigate and compare AI usage by BME students fromdifferent institutions, and we are currently working towards a multi-institution IRB to do so.4.

Figure 2, we found a statistically significant improvement in problem-solving masterywhen comparing the Abstract #1’s draft to the final submission (* refers to p=0.000031). Onlycompleted abstracts were included in the analysis (n=19 out of 26). The mean Hake gain for thefirst abstract is 48 +/– 7 %, suggesting that students earned almost half of the points lost on thedraft on the final abstract submission. Additionally, the quality of peer reviews scored 35 +/– 9 outof a maximum score of 48 (maximum of eight points per standard and six standards evaluated).Initial investigation of the correlation between mastery improvement and quality of peer reviewwere not significant for either the critic or the critiqued. Thematic analysis of peer review
the skill of the students. Future work includes examining studentreceptiveness and comfort with this method as well as looking at how instructor experience withVF can decrease the time required to provide it. We would also like to see if there is a correlationbetween the number of times a student views their feedback and their skill acquisition. We feelthat this may give insight into how to scale VF in large classes.References[1] J. Hattie and H. Timperley, “The Power of Feedback,” Rev. Educ.

Student looks to a) lab partner(s) or peers, and/or b) TA, and/or c) class and lab materials to decide how to respond. 3. Student's ability to move past the setback depends on whether a) others experience the same setback, b) others normalize setbacks, and c) they know where to look to help them troubleshoot. These factors impact whether they can effectively manage their frustration in the moment.Figure 1.
