Because student gains in knowledge and development may beinfluenced by instructor characteristics and classroom dynamics, several student-instructorinteraction variables were measured for experimental groups. These variables include: out-of-classroom communication with instructor (7), classroom climate (8), instructor verbalaggressiveness (9), and instructor verbal assertiveness (9). Additionally, two items askedparticipants how many conversations about research ethics they had in the previous three monthsoutside of the classroom/lab with (a) peers and (b) lab directors/principal

using what is called the external-internal (E-I) Index [26] captures the extent to which the collaborative network is made up of individuals outside as compared to inside a particular environment or context. In this paper, we report the E-I index for a) cross VIP team interaction, b) cross (student) rank interactions (undergraduate-graduate), and c) gender in order to address integration of women in the network interactions. Further, because these are longitudinal data, we also calculate the E-I index for students who were engaged in VIP in the first year to address whether newer students are being actively integrated into the student networks. The EI index is calculated as: (external ties – internal ties) / (external ties
