Another day of Summer, another insanely productive research day. I went to the library again at 8am and was able to bang out work all the way until 7:30pm (had a class at 3pm but otherwise)!
I worked in the morning on the Transfer Honors Thesis, then in the afternoon I spent a couple of hours helping my mentor with SciTrek Stuff as I finish out my tenure as employed researcher and assessment coordinator- we were designing a new set of questions for five assessments that may or may not be part of a new SciTrek first grade module. I’ll share a snippet of that below.
Finally, I was able to get some hours in in the afternoon to work on my research work with the Center for Evaluation and Assessment in the Education building at UCSB with Dr. Natalie Jones- this is a super new and exciting research project that I’ve been very privileged to take part in. My responsibility is to come into one of their projects and begin some qualitative analysis. I’ll also share a snippet of my work there today since I’m pretty proud of it. Now, granted, this is not at all polished and likely mis/under/rudely interprets subjectively what I thought came out of the data – I’m sure my seniors would have a more academic, neutral, and useful perspective and set of terms of organize these codes.
So that’s what I was able to get up to today; can’t say I don’t feel a little proud of myself for today’s effort (go Tate!).
