practice, if observed, is likely desirable, since thedifficulty arises from students’ activation of retrieval processes. Because students are forced torecall previously-learned information without any contextual cues, their memory is strengthened.Current WorkAs part of NSF Award #1912253, we implemented spaced retrieval practice in Calculus I forengineering students at the University of Louisville’s J.

Thethree-year grant is currently in its second year, the study having been implemented in Fall 2020.As a preliminary analysis on the data available for the ASEE timeframe, we asked the followingresearch question: RQ: Does spacing decrease performance on retrieval practice exercises in an engineering
