reflection on their learning accessed their feedback more often thanthose who do not [6]. So it is hypothesized that students who do reflections will score higher onproposed factor 2 (timely review of feedback) than those that do not. Of the 1213 students, 226were enrolled in sections of the course that used structure-reflection [6]; 874 were enrolled insections that did no or minimal (e.g., minute paper) reflection. To test the hypothesis that thescores obtained for factors associated with timely review of feedback were higher for sectionsthat did reflection than those that did no or minimal reflection, a Kruskal-Wallis test and aWilcoxon Rank test were used. These two non-parametric tests were chosen over the parametrict-test due to the Likert

These Cohort 1 Scholars will,in turn, serve as student ambassadors for Cohort 2 Scholars (to be recruited for Fall 2019). Underthe mentorship of student ambassadors, the Scholars take part in a variety of daily activitiesincluding a moderated reflection session at the end of each day.The program is structured as follows:  It takes place during the summer prior to entering college.  It spans two full weeks, from Sunday through the second Saturday.  Each Scholar is paired with a student ambassador throughout the course of the program
