Checkout my recent talk at RIT, I will share my experiences of transforming a typical group project that was done with a made-up client / topic into a collaboration between graduate students and local non-profit organizations in Rochester.
The heart of this talk lies in sharing the successes, challenges, and lessons learned throughout this initiative. Although I don’t have an overwhelming amount of quantitative data, there will be some presented drawing from survey data collected from past students.
(NOTE: if you are one of my students who is in my network, and was also in this course... I share both the good and challenging experiences. If anything I learned a lot more from the challenging experiences, and I don't call anyone out!)
