As Discord becomes more prominent in students’ day-to-day lives, we should aim toidentify how Discord communities are impacting student success. We have scraped 4 semestersworth of conversational data from a college computer science Discord server to help identifyDiscord impacts on student success. In this work in progress paper, we propose an exploratorystudy to identify how an unofficial departmental computer science Discord server is impactingstudents’ education, relationships, job prospects, and more.

Typically, in semesters past, students have worked onresearch projects involving a topic in engineering. The course has sought to engage students insome reflection on the ethical dimensions and social impact of engineering design, but much ofthe research and writing has been focused more on reporting data rather than evaluating it.

Rather,the 3 instructors work together to create a unified science experience revolving around acommon topic, for example: energy, to be studied from their respective points of view. Pre-assessment and post-assessment is carried out to evaluate conceptual understanding.The communication and study skills class has an emphasis on career and academic majoradvising. Pre-assessment and post-assessment are carried out by means of essays intended tomeasure writing and composition skills.
