that respective course. For example, if a student
was enrolled and earned a "C" in both ENGL
100 and MATH 100, the ENGL 100 manipulated grades would reflect a "B" in ENGL 100
and a "C" in MATH 100. This allowed for the
analysis of individual course-specific strategies
independent of other course-specific strategies.

created (one for each of ENGL 100, HIST 100,
and MATH 100 and one for all three courses).
To simulate the potential positive impact of
course-specific support initiatives, residents
enrolled in each section of the specified course
had their grade in that course manipulated to
reflect earning one letter grade higher than
they actually received, with an "A" remaining
an "A" (i.e., A = A, B = A, C = B, D = C, F =
D). Withdrawals, incompletes, and other miscellaneous grades that did not impact GPA
were not altered. The decision to treat miscellaneous grades in this manner is discussed in
detail in the limitations section. All grades for
all other courses also remained unchanged.
Table 2 displays grade frequency and alterations by course and semester.

The final column reflected manipulation of
every grade in each of the three courses; thus,
a student enrolled in more than one of the top
three courses received multiple altered grades.
The previously discussed hypothetical student
who enrolled and earned a "C" in both ENGL
100 and MATH 100 now received a "B" in both
courses. This condition represented students
simultaneously participating in all course-specific support initiatives relevant to them. Table
3 provides an example student enrolled in all
three courses and the subsequent data transformations under each condition.

Each manipulated course-specific grade
column only reflected manipulated grades in
