Part 4 of 4 in the "Focus Groups in Assessment Series"

Researchers trying to make sense of student-related issues on campus often overlook a critical source of information—students. Because they know the campus culture better than faculty or staff, student focus group leaders, for instance, may have a better idea of which questions to ask. In fact, engaging students to lead survey design, focus group conversations, and presentations of findings can help institutions understand their assessment evidence. Join us as we explore the advantages to using student-led efforts to make sense of data.
