distinct variations: (a) Start alone, End together; and (b)Start alone, End almost together.Start alone, End togetherStudents who reported studying this way tended to decide in advance that they would begin atask or assignment alone and also would come together toward the end of an assignment or studyperiod and meet to review their work and resolve any disagreement in solutions or approaches toproblems. For example, Becky observed that most of the students in her major (bioengineering)cohort studied this way: In my major, the most often I would say was the second scenario where you do have a study group but everyone has already attempted to try to do the problems, and then we kind of just go over the problems that we don't quite understand

ofbelonging in classes and major is strongly associated with academic engagement and otherpositive outcomes, and b) faculty and peer support of a student are correlated to the student’ssense of belonging primarily at the class and major level. Regarding academic engagement,students report in interviews that faculty behaviors influence student academic engagement, andthat small adjustments to faculty behavior could improve student engagement. When observingclasses, we observed that lecture still predominates in the engineering classroom; however, weobserved a modified lecture style that was occasionally used, in which we observed a highstudent academic engagement and faculty interaction that typically occurs only in active learningenvironments.
