We introduce the concept of structure-regions and their impact on student experience in large-enrollment frosh courses. These regions involve three major components: active learning, low-stakes assignments, and formative assessment. We analyze performance data and show that high-structure courses have a positive impact on class performance by decreasing the performance gap throughout the duration of a course.
