At its core, the Comm Lab is a STEM-specific writing center wherestudents can meet face-to-face with a peer knowledgeable in their discipline to get feedback onSTEM writing and communication genres. On the organizational level, however, the Comm Labis distinguished by its emphasis on adaptation of structure and services to the desired institutionalcontext.

Small amounts of training (1 day or less) that often focus on university anddepartment policies do not provide enough time for UGTAs to learn and more importantlydevelop a comprehension of pedagogical skills, limiting the professional development achieved.From a small sample size of 6 graduate TAs at Texas Tech University, survey results suggestedthat graduate teaching assistants view preparedness, fair grading

Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success.

The mathematical impact was: ~$28,000 between paying theindividual’s salary for six months and the 30% of the individual’s salary it cost the company toreplace this person. Having an individual in a role they were not qualified for over the course ofsix months also adversely impacts the employer’s projected profit margins. Privateorganizations generally do not view this as an acceptable standard practice where profits are thedriving force.
