They are introduced to the concept of team roles, agendas, minutes, listening, decisionmaking, peer evaluation, and scheduling. In their sophomore year, students are given training inpeer evaluation that is reinforced in the junior year. In the junior year student laboratory groupsare required to complete open ended laboratory projects. These groups are responsible forscheduling their work and performing peer evaluations.

averse to entering college, and once they do enter do not persistbeyond two years and many more do not persist to completion. A major cause for the lack ofpersistence for low-income students has been attributed to their feelings of alienation or isolationwithin the college experience (AAAS, 2021). Low-income students are often high achievers inhigh school, and yet when they enter college, they may suffer from anxiety stemming from theirbeliefs that their academic performance is perceived by others as inferior and that they will oneday be exposed as impostors or frauds not on an academic par with their peers (Sakulku &Alexander, 2011).

First, to test whether later-testing students did better thantheir peers, the correlation between exam scores and the order in which the students took theexam (hereafter, exam order) was determined. The exam order was recorded for 9 out of the 15years in this study. A typical profile is shown in Figure 6 for 2016. In all nine years, the 95%confidence interval (CI) for the slope of score versus exam order included zero.Second, a measure was calculated to see if students performed better on the oral exam thanexpected. This measure was Δ(rank) = rank in the course – rank on the oral exam. (The rank inthe course includes the oral exam.) The Δ(rank) values are plotted versus exam order in Figure 5for

problem with regard to scholarship was the fear of failure. Many of the faculty feltthat they had nothing to offer or that they were not capable of writing and presenting atconferences. This was resolved by asking for assistance reviewing a few ASEE papers. Theperson asked to help was a peer leader and if this person bought in, then the mentor model couldbe utilized. After reviewing the papers, the response was, "I could do this." And, that is exactlywhat happened. Papers were written, accepted and published: individually and in small groups.After confidence was gained, more efforts were made and others were included.
