We spent one hour on the development ofthe rubric, including the empathy map, and should have given ourselves two separate one-hoursessions at a minimum.Persona responses (step III)The brainstorming responses to the application questions can be seen in Appendix B. Personaspresented here are ad hoc personas using the information shown in Appendix B and were notdeveloped during the rubric development process. We felt that we were able to use the empathymap and demographic questions to develop the target persona responses to the application essayquestions and did not need to create full personas before moving on given our timeframe.

Our specific research questions that guided this portion of the study (i.e., thedevelopment and analysis of the student surveys) are: a. In what ways, if any, do students’ self-efficacy for communication capabilities change from their entry to their last semester before graduation? b. Do students report differences in self-efficacy by communication type (i.e., writing

Transfer students also have fewer opportunities toparticipate in high-impact learning experiences such as undergraduate research and internshipsthan first-time freshmen [2]. STEM transfer students can have challenges as they adjust tocampus life [3], [4], including course credit loss [5], which can delay graduation or lead toattrition, perception of lack of advisor support or misinformation [6], or perception of “stigma”as a transfer student [3]. Providing resources, supports, and access to select activities in the earlytransfer period thus is a critical time to

Their feedback was used to refineinstructions and format the items. For example, their feedback was instrumental in deciding howto scaffold instructions and items aimed at soliciting an account of the total man hours dedicatedto the project.Introduction.

The first part (questions 1-16) was concerned with a direct comparison of the role of UTAs and academic tutors.With reference to Table 1(a), questions were chosen to depict three areas of UTAcontribution: motivation and engagement (ME), skills development (SD) andtechnical explanation, feedback and course contextualisation (EFC).

assess designthinking, 102 interviews with girls were videotaped across elementary and middle schoolprograms in two cities. The interviews called on youth to give a guided, narrative description oftheir work on a design project accomplished in their engineering-focused, girls-only afterschoolprogram. Interviews were augmented with programmatic observations, so the analysts couldtriangulate evidence from interviews with observations of girls engaged in the projects. Incollaboration with the curriculum development team, a rubric was developed to measure theextent to which girls communicated effective engineering design, specifically: a) understandingof the design challenge, b) evaluation of design strengths and weaknesses, and c) evidence
