Other students, on the university campus, sit in a traditional classroomsetting augmented with room microphones.

Hockey7 portrays thefirst year of PhD as the most crucial and difficult period because students “initially encounterand experience intellectual and social processes at their point of maximum novelty”(p1). Muchresearch has been done about the challenges and issues first-year PhD students or junior researchstudents face, including social isolation, productivity, financing, discrepancies with advisers, andunequal accesses to peer culture and academic culture7,9–13.

Course OrganizationThe course is scheduled as a 6 hour laboratory, meeting three times per week for two hours persession, with four faculty instructing. As the course supports a large number of students (96students at most in the current organization), and large class sizes would limit student-facultyinteraction, the students are distributed into six approximately equal smaller groupings. On anygiven day of the week, these six groups are distributed among three classrooms and activities,each of which has a different emphasis: ‘learn’, ‘plan’, and ‘do’. The two groups in

authors have found that itis preferable to differentiate among team members based on the ratings assigned by teammates,or at least to use the differentiation to support grade decisions in borderline cases. Gradingcriteria can be based on specific project tasks or on general features of the problem such asteamwork, writing/documentation, presentation, etc. This self-rating technique provides a meansfor converting qualitative performance of team members into a subjective but nonethelessquantitative measure, and it is especially useful for verifying student complaints of unevendistribution of work. Whatever the mechanism, care must be taken to foster a cooperative, notcompetitive, atmosphere in the classroom. We have found this method to be

Although thecourse has been taught by seven different instructors over the years, it is essentially a team-taughtcourse.

Someaccommodations frequently failed, like the peer note-taker accommodation, which preventedregistered disabled students from utilizing resources that the university agreed they need tosucceed. This supported the data that there is a measurably lower chance of disabled engineeringstudents using their accommodations compared to their non-STEM peers [10].
