This work provides follow-up analysis regarding application of the findings of this previous work to another course in the undergraduate ChE curriculum. Policies regarding lecture recordings and in-person classroom attendance were adjusted based on findings of the previous work and applied in a core ChE course (numerical methods) in the sophomore year. It was observed that in-person attendance rates exceeded 90%. In order to more deeply understand the factors which encouraged students to attend class, a survey question was included on end-of-semester course evaluations which asked students whether they would have regularly attended class in person if there was no attendance policy but lecture recordings were still available for asynchronous viewing. Student responses to this question were qualitatively coded using a thematic analysis method similar to that employed in the prior work; results from this analysis will be presented.
