Take-Home Lessons
• »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË are very far from homogenous, and their unique circumstances or backgrounds may result in additional difficulties in completing a STEM major
• An ideal way to treat students is as unique individuals, with no preconceived notions on the instructor's side. This is partly accomplished by not assuming common cultural stereotypes or references when teaching.
