Dartmouth’s Critical Moments project is designed to promote discussions among faculty and graduate students about the retention of students, particularly women and minorities, in science, math, and engineering (SME) disciplines. The first phase of the ongoing project has been the development of four case stories, which are fictionalized composites drawn from surveys and interviews of real Dartmouth students. The surveyed population was 125 students in general chemistry. Of the 77 who agreed to be interviewed, 61 reported having experienced a critical moment – i.e., a positive or negative event or time that had a significant impact on the student’s academic …

Science, it is argued [65], advances through paradigm shifts. Concepts emerge that open-up new vistas of research, fundamentally changing the way we are used to looking at things. Between these paradigm shifts remain the periods of consolidation. Periods when human mind explores the newly found territory, shedding light on hitherto unknown dimensions. If radical changes are the hallmarks of paradigm shifts, the period within witnesses small but continuous developments, occasionally marked by its own milestones. It is in these periods that human faculty tries to grasp the full significance of the new concepts, consolidates its gains and thereby pushes the …
