The NYU Tandon director of enrollment management, an NYU financial aidofficer, and the DSI instructor led one and a half hour sessions of college advisement to groupsof 5 to 6 students. The students received feedback on their draft college essays and advice on:choosing a college essay topic, creating a list of candidate schools, interacting with interviewers,and understanding college financial aid terminology and processes.Each mentor was assigned one to two mentees and a given lab was assigned between two to fourmentees. Mentors, typically advanced graduate students or post-doctoral researchers, begancontact with their assigned mentee(s) after the completion of the matching process. Participantswere

encourage students to spend more time assessing how well they understand the material (10).The conventional single-answer MC question can mask a student’s knowledge state from boththemselves and the educator (11). These assessments provide binary or dichotomous feedback:students get the right answer and full credit or the wrong answer and no credit. Students with lowknowledge states who randomly guess on a four-answer-choice question have an expected scoreequal to 25% of the total points. If the students can eliminate one or two answer choice(s), theirexpected score moves towards 50% of the total points. The downside for guessing is earningzero point while the upside is getting full credit. The mutually exclusive and collectivelyexhaustive nature
researchexperience can provide quick and valuable information for faculty mentors. Faculty mentors canuse this feedback to address with participants issues that may be influencing their learning ortheir thinking about future educational or career goals, and make adjustments to improve thelearning environment before the end of the experience.References 1.

If categories occur simultaneously, thecodes are sorted in ascending order to make the data organized. We implemented an overlappingprocedure approach presented in [18] to incorporate multiple codes. We selected a data thresholdsuch that short time intervals (< ~3 s) were ignored.

Eachrow corresponded to a specific week in the semester. The columns contained responses to thesequestions: What did you learn? Why is it important? Where else could you use it? During eachweek, students identified a specific skill, concept or insight that they learned

While numbers in themid-50’s per session are usually ideal, we have recently been able to properly manageover 60 students per session. We feel though that a cap of mid-60’s is necessary, as a Page 12.986.9higher number would have a negative effect on the quality of the program.Figure 2 below depicts the

design, and infrastructure design gives us insight into what benefits,intended or unintended, may arise when we apply these principles in the classroom. In addition,as design instructors, it is useful as a lesson on the way in which social movements and ideastransferred from field to field inform, or reinvigorate, an area of practice in engineering.The concepts of design for accessibility began to take hold in architecture, particularly for thedesign of public buildings, in the 1970’s. These principles form the foundation for legislationenacted in the United States and elsewhere.1 The implementation of legislation, such as theAmericans with Disabilities Act, led to a change in building requirements intended to makebuildings more accessible to
