Seeking Student Volunteers to Participate in a Survey about their Experiences Presenting Research

Have you presented or will you present results of your research, creative, or scholarly work at a student symposium this fall? We are particularly interested in hearing from any student that presented at one of the many virtual conferences that are being organized and run during the Era of COVID-19. The survey takes approximately 5 - 15 minutes to complete.

This project started at the 2018 CUR Biennial when Linda Blockus from the University of Missouri brought together a group of people into a CUR Dialogical Working Group to explore what (if any) learning gains students experienced after presenting their research at a conference or student symposium. The dialogical was extremely fruitful. We first identified possible learning gains that students might be expected to gain from the experience (e.g., communicating with a general versus specialized audience; defending an idea, and processing criticism) as well as a survey instrument to assess what students may learn, which has received IRB approval (FGCU Protocol ID# 2019-60).
