Previously, we have explored the Kruger-Dunning effect in a number of areas in chemistry courses.  Previous work has explored the role of gender, course-level, and student major.  In a continuation of this study, we continue to explore other factors that may have an effect on the accuracy of student self-perception.  Here we examine whether current perceptions within the course have an effect on a student's ability to accurately self-assess.  Does a student's self-perception improve over time in a course (i.e. is their exam 3 prediction more accurate than their exam 1 prediction), or is accuracy completely unrelated to the stage of the course?
