Among other reasons, it is likely that they have notdeveloped proper study habits or the skills necessary to review and correct their work during anexamination. To account for this, multiple opportunities were provided on each of the midtermexams. For each of the midterm exams, the final score was the sum of the best scores in eachsection (described below) from any of the exam attempts. There was only one attempt on thefinal exam, which had a similar structure as the midterm exams.In version 1 of the assessment model, three attempts (A, B and C) at each exam were offered.There were four midterm exams, so a total of twelve exams plus the final exam were offeredduring the semester.

This addition was made in anattempt to increase student success within the course, especially addressing the mathematicallyunderprepared and underrepresented minority groups within UTA’s diverse engineering studentbody. SI provides a more structured studying environment in which students are led by a peergroup mentor, known as an SI leader, in solving problems, receiving tips on good study habits,and other student success strategies. This is in contrast to the just-in-time tutoring sessions thatare more “drop-in” in format, getting answers to specific questions the students have.

Simulation sickness analysis showed thatthe current VR teaching modules need some adjustments. The analysis of the systems usabilityand user experience of the module were found to be acceptable. In phase III of the research, wewill improve the VR module to make a full self-paced tutorial where the instructor’s role will bemore facilitator than an instructor.References[1] B. Dalgarno, A. G.

Students formed pairs andreviewed each other's reports. A formative, rather than summative, rubric focused on evaluatingthe writing (Appendix B) was given to the student reviewers to fill out, including criteria such asgenre convention (structure and organization), coherence, multimodal components (figures andtables), and credibility (references).

Additionalquestions were included in the survey to collect information about a respondent’s gender,declared major, and year in school.To gain a more in depth understanding of faculty perspectives and to reduce the possibility ofsocial desirability bias, where a person tends to put their organization in a favorable light, one-on-one interviews were conducted with several faculty members.

Tonso andothers have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those amongstudents within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broadercultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;McLoughlin, 2005).
