If a particular student has reviewed the design document for a project, forexample, there are advantages in having him (her) also review the finished project. If groups ofstudents work on a single project, students may be randomly assigned to review other student(s)within the same group [Topp 00]; let us call this Strategy G.One variant of Strategy G was used by Henderson and Buising [HB00].

It ispossible that the ~20% of participants with “reversed” responses were attempting to targetvariability, and that in a more deliberate setting (i.e., in the workplace), they would have

The users enter the components of a vector field which are then plotted as shown in Figure10. The users are given a “control volume” whose location can be chosen by the users. Thepurpose of this “control volume” is to provide a means to visualize whether the vector field isconverging or diverging at a particular location. Once the users choose a point that they desire,one user is prompted for an exact calculation of the divergence at the control volume‟s location.If the user answers correctly, the program continues to the next round

Said differently, Ge et al.’s [13] cross-sectional study showed that White engineering students demonstrate a higher predispositiontowards a growth mindset and a higher predisposition towards endorsing a fixed view of theirabilities. An exploratory study aimed at understanding the relationship between students’engineering identity and mindsets longitudinally found that both a fixed and a growth mindsetwere positive predictors of identity [14].
