Achievement gaps in STEM courses negatively affect retention and are experienced disproportionately by low-income, female, and underrepresented minority students.\u00a0 For example, women in many STEM classrooms underperform compared with men, despite being the numerical majority.\u00a0 One hypothesis attributes this gender disparity to increased physiological stress and anxiety during tests.\u00a0 Dr. Susana Wadgymar<\/a> (BIO) will host a discussion of an empirical investigation examining how techniques for alleviating test anxiety can influence self-perceived anxiety, exam performance, and gender gaps in exam scores in introductory STEM courses.<\/p>\n
