engineering programs are typically among the most tightly prescribed programs within the academic landscape on any university campus. The strict nature of these programs often results in students taking more credits than stipulated, thereby leaving them struggling to graduate in a timely manner. The ability to identify potential blockers or challenges in an engineering program's curriculum is vital to student success and the promotion of on-time graduation. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of patterns and trends observed by a newly developed cohort tracking analytics platform. This platform provides analyses over a cohort of students which uncovers insights that are not easily identified when only looking at data at the individual student level. The analysis pinpoints courses that many students within the cohort have taken that are not applicable to the degree, along with the reasons why these courses are not applicable. It also identifies trends in courses that must be repeated by a significant portion of the cohort. It examines the courses constituting a program's degree requirements that have yielded both the best and worst grade value outcomes. In addition, an exploration of a cohort's efficiency of credit hour production is provided for both the home institution units and transfer units, which shows where credits are not aligning with degree requirements and therefore not counting towards degree completion. Finally, a comparative analysis of programs within the engineering field is performed as well as a comparison of engineering programs to non-engineering programs. This type of analysis demonstrates the differences in how students in engineering programs make progress towards their degree completion. The statistical analyses furnished by this platform provide administrators with an evidence-based foundation to support programmatic modifications and enhancements. This allows administrators to depart from the past practices of having to rely on a

In-context learning (ICL) exhibits dual operating modes: task learning, i.e. acquiring a new skill from in-context samples, and task retrieval, i.e., locating and activating a relevant pretrained skill. Recent theoretical work proposes various mathematical models to analyze ICL, but they cannot fully explain the duality. In this work, we analyze a generalized probabilistic model for pretraining data, obtaining a quantitative understanding of the two operating modes of ICL. Leveraging our analysis, we provide the first explanation of an unexplained phenomenon observed with real-world large language models (LLMs). Under some settings, the ICL risk initially increases and then decreases with more in-context examples. Our analysis offers a plausible explanation for this "early ascent" phenomenon: a limited number of in-context samples may lead to the retrieval of an incorrect skill, thereby increasing the risk, which will eventually diminish as task learning takes effect with more in-context samples. We also analyze ICL with biased labels, e.g., zero-shot ICL, where in-context examples are assigned random labels, and predict the bounded efficacy of such approaches. We corroborate our analysis and predictions with extensive experiments with Transformers and LLMs. The code is available at: https://***/UW-Madison-Lee-Lab/Dual_Operating_Modes_of_ICL.
