So-called “intrusive advising” is believed toincrease academic performance and persistence in majors (reviewed in Banta et al. 3).Course design and interventions: Our study was reviewed and found exempt by our Social

If the instructor felt that a specific student wasnot working productively during class, they could lower the class activity score for that day, andstudents were warned of this. The instructor had to warn a few students, but never had to alter aclass activity score.3.5 CALC-II-2TThree changes were made to CALC-II-2T: 1) the number of semester exams was reduced byalmost 50%, and 2) the instructor switched to an online system for administering RATs and 3) ateam component was added to the RATs.The number of semester exams was reduced because the instructor saw that each day most of thestudents were fully engaged with trying to
