Over seven summers (2013-2019), 97 students participated in the ReNUWItREU. Of those, 67 (69%) were female and 38 (39%) identified as URM. These demographicscompare favorably with other environmental engineering REU
thesestudents into a course that requires mastery. 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. With three chances to

already being utilized in the class. 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. This paperwill assess the effects that these two different methods have on success rates in the course,defined as receiving an A, B
