Most recently, the National Labor Relations Board has decided that graduate students atprivate institutions are in fact employees and deserve all the rights that employees in the US areentitled to, including unionization [20]. For graduate students at public universities,determination of graduate student workers as employees is left up to state legislature and/or theuniversity depending on how the state law is written. Sometimes state legislature will allowuniversities themselves to classify graduate student workers and other times, the state legislaturewill explicitly exclude

We then focused more specifically on the interactions that participants hadwith faculty both inside and outside traditional class hours. In keeping with an unstructuredinterview style, we asked probing questions to uncover and further explore salient experiences ofstudent-faculty interaction.

As another example, during producttesting the teams may learn more about the users and the community that may support anupdated definition of the problem statement. Thus, teams must document their design process tocreate a compelling set of evidence to support their design decisions and tell an impactful designnarrative.Community stakeholder participation is crucial for a successful design project.
