on long-term overallperformance standards rather than focusing on comparison to peer performance, assistingstudents in identifying strengths and unique accomplishments and providing opportunities forgroup support with others experiencing academic difficulty. In addition, it was recommendedthat opportunities be provided within programs that complement the individual’s preferredlearning styles (Marsh & Craven, 1997). A number of researchers have examined metacognitive approaches using awareness ofindividual student learning styles as the focus for increasing levels of academic achievement,retention and academic self-concept (Lenehan, Dunn, Ingham, Signer & Murray, 1994; Nelson,Dunn, Griggs, Primavera, Fitzpatrick & Miller

Teachers chose units because they best aligned with district pacing guides andrelevant content standards.

It has served as a focal point for student study groups and acentral location for promoting student scholarships, engineering design competitions, internships,and summer undergraduate research opportunities. The Center has been host to tutoring sessionsfor difficult courses, student success seminars, resume writing and job search workshops, as wellas meetings of several science and engineering oriented student organizations on our campus.The Center has also served as a forum for presentations by faculty and student researchers

For example, while a key asset to Black men is their ability to draw onsame-gender support networks and friendships, Cross and Paretti (2020) observed that theirexperiences on student teams involved limited opportunities to develop friendships amongtheir peers. Additionally, while the positive expectations of mentors and professors could serveas a “self-fulfilling prophecy” (Burrell et al., 2015) students in Cross and Paretti’s study usedproactive efforts to dispel stereotypes among their peers in order to prevent negative self-fulfilling prophecies.To situate our proposed research among the broader scholarship on Black

For example,one study examined this with third-year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology studentsand concluded that when class met, especially in the morning, impacted student performance[7,8]. There were additional variables, such as gender, major, Instructor, and term, that acted ascontributing variables[9].

This would disable any attacker from writing a spy program tobrute force the key and data out of the cache data stored during execution of the DCF algorithm. DCFalgorithm can be implemented successfully using C++ programming language. In the implementation ofDCF algorithm, cache is flushed periodically during encryption or decryption time. This would disablethe attacker from tapping the cache for data. On the downside, there was a (not so noteworthy)performance hit on the encryption process, but on a brighter note, the DCF algorithm stands strongagainst the cache timing attack.
