With the fall semester quickly approaching (next Monday), I’m trying to get this project ready for launch. I’ve got a few interviews lined up for the student research position (still accepting applications!) and need to revisit my interview questions. However, the big question I’m tackling this week is creating a data set (of students) to sample and select to interview.
Month: August 2019
Weekly Update
Mapping the Student Engagement Journey has a few project updates:
- The project is IRB approved. I’ll talk more about this throughout the project, but an immediate impact is that this allows us to start recording interviews as soon as I have students recruited.
- A press release has gone out announcing the Faculty Academy cohort for this year. There’s a lot of great work going on, beyond this project.
- My undergraduate student research assistant position has been posted! I am so excited to hire a student to assist throughout this process. If you’re a Penn Stater and know of a good student, please let them know about this position.
In the upcoming weeks, I hope to hire the student, test out my interview questions and technique, and talk a bit more on this blog about my methodology and what we mean by “student engagement.” Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
