Does inclusion of a discussion opportunity improve student development in (a) integrative learning and knowledge and (b) lay the groundwork for self-authorship beginnings? 2. At the end of the course, is the student more confident in declaring a major?4.0 Methods  Survey Instrument  The survey instrument, (integrative learning survey) was developed, using a modified Self-Authorship Survey (SAS)8 and a modified Integrative Knowledge Portfolio Survey self-assessment instrument9, which resulted in a 33-item survey, see Appendix.

Generally, the research examining ratings of teachingassistants focuses on the attributes of the TA. Our ultimate goal is (a) to determine if there is a relationship between student ratings offaculty and student ratings of TAs and (b) if a relationship is found, then to understand thefactors contributing to the relationship.

These factors include pre-entry characteristics such as skills and abilities10,11family background12, institutional experiences13,14, and finances15. While research in collegeretention has focused on integration into the university, research in engineering retention hasfocused more on integration into the engineering culture16
