Using Study Partners to Broaden Participation

2020 GIANT Selection

Abstract - 

Because students have increased chances of succeeding if they feel a sense of belonging, we aim to examine the effects of pairing students with a study partner in two mid-level core courses: CS241 and ECE310. In particular, we will study female and/or minority students as these two groups face unique challenges in engineering.
