Exploring Differences in Perceived Confidence Between Native and Transfer Computer Science Students

Transfer students have to adapt to a new campus environment concurrently with transitioning into upper-division coursework, while native students face this academic leap after two years at the same institution. This may lead to gaps in confidence and academic performance between transfer students and their native peers.
