Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Using an updated longitudinal dataset distinguishing transfer origin, black engineering students transfer from four-year institutions more often than from two-year institutions. → C. Cosentino 2014

q2 · i? · associational · r?
Analysis of an updated longitudinal dataset that distinguishes two-year from four-year transfer origins found that "black students in engineering are more likely to transfer from other four-year institutions than from two-year institutions." No effect size or count is printed.
"Using an updated version of the longitudinal data set used in the earlier study that enables us to distinguish transfers from two- versus four-year institutions, we find that (1) black students in engineering are more likely to transfer from other four-year institutions than from two-year institutions"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Two-year and four-year origin transfers differ on gender, enrollment status, and six-year engineering graduation — related
- Black transfer students are more likely to persist in engineering than non-transfer black students after controlling for credits earned, a pattern not found for students of other ethnicities — related
- For two-year black transfer students, gender and engineering GPA—not transfer status—drive graduation outcomes, with black women outperforming black men — related
