agreed to allow us to use them as data for future research.MethodologyDuring the FIE session, the groups were asked to create a map of the PhD process, keeping the followingquestions in mind: • Who are the Players and how do they relate to each other? • What are the Milestones? • What are the Events that impact the outcomes?Each of the group-created maps were photographed (included in Appendices B-F), then each element onthe map was transcribed for easier comparison across the different maps. The maps were compared byprocess (intellectual and institutional strand), identified characters (network strand), and the potentialchallenges. These were aligned with each other as well as the original analogy components from thespecial session (shown

, students whoattended 1-3 sessions (few), and students who attended 4 or more sessions (regulars). Studentswho regularly attended sessions were 22±3% more likely to pass the course with an A, B, or Cthen those who do not go to any sessions (4). As the data were updated for another years’ worth ofcourses, the same general conclusions were made (Figure 1). The middle group of this figure(students who attended few sessions), has remained intriguing to the coordinators and authors.Effort was placed in trying to find out why students would choose to only go to a few sessions.The assumption, published in the author’s previous paper, was that this group of students onlyattended exam review sessions (4).

ormore sessions) was unsubstantiated, a test for linear correlation between number of sessionsattended and passing rates was created (Figure 1). Passing rates (%) were calculated as thenumber of students earning an A, B, or C out of the entire course enrollment. This figure shows aclear, positive correlation between number of SI sessions attended and average passing rate. Theslope of this figure can be plotted (Figure 2) to indicate if there is a significant increase at anynumber of sessions. The major disadvantage of breaking up passing rates by the distinct numberof sessions attended is that uncertainty (scatter) greatly increases due to the smaller sample sizeof students who attend numerous sessions. However, the dataset at LSU includes over

Motivations behind selecting this target domainMany teachers who teach Statics are disappointed regarding the inability of their students inapplying the learned concepts in analyzing and designing the real world problems in succeedingcourses for which Statics is considered as a cornerstone (Condoor et al., 2008). Based on theauthor's experience in teaching the subject topic, students normally struggle learning Statics, asmost of the time their main focus is on memorizing the mathematical modules and equationsused for solving the problems, while they miss
