All thirty participating students are enrolled in a first or second semester calculus basedphysics course for spring 2014. Special care was taken to directly recruit students that weresigned up to take a course in the spring, or were currently enrolled in a qualifying course(Physics 1 or Calculus 1.) To increase enrollments campus-wide advertising was done viasignage and
