Participation in the study is voluntary and would involve completing an in-person interview for about 1 hour, scheduled at your convenience. The questions are about your classes and other activities related to computing. All student participants will receive a $25 Amazon.com gift card for participating in the study, and may elect to continue with follow-up interviews in the next two academic years. (If you continue, all it would take is one hour per year…and the gift cards increase to $30 in Year 2 and $50 in Year 3!).
If you’re interested in participating, please email me (laura.portnoi@csulb.edu) with a few dates and times when you’re available so that we can schedule a date for the interview. I will be on campus next week, May 7-11, and can meet during the day or evening.
Thank you in advance for your time and participation in this research project. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you should have any questions about the study.
Sincerely,
Dr. Laura Portnoi
Associate Professor
Advanced Studies in Education and Counseling
