Thisparticular professor requires all his/her research assistants to maintain an “A” average tobe considered for the assistantship. Also, each department wishes to keep track ofgraduate students that have maintained an average of “B” or better. Furthermore, astudent can only work as either a graduate teaching assistant or research assistant but notboth. Students are required to check with their professors or their respective departmentsfor potential opportunities for teaching or research assistantships.

includingquestionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. First, a comparative, multiple case study designwas used to select 2 teams from 35 teams in a university community engagement program.This program is designed to give teams of undergraduate students with active learningexperiences within real world contexts. Student teams work with advisors and clients to defineproject scope, create alternative designs, and develop, test, and implement solutions. Themultiple cases were analyzed for the purpose of theoretical replication, which either (a)predicts similar results or (b) produces contrasting results but for predictable reasons. Thedevelopment of a rich, theoretical framework is an important step in all of these replicationprocedures21. Multiple cases were

The questionnaire contained 35 objectivequestions with a 5 point Likert scale ranging from “1: Strongly disagree” to “5: Strongly agree.”The respondents circled a letter on the scale from 1 to 5 which most closely corresponded to theirresponse to each of the 35 items. Because the 35 questions yielded substantial reliabilities forfive clear concepts or constructs, the analysis for the evaluation was organized according to thefollowing five constructs: (a) important and valuable, (b) perceived skill development, (c)instructionally helpful, (d) self reported learning and (e) intrinsic learning and motivation.Earlier studies have validated these constructs2, 4, 5.
