behavioral-based interviewing (BBI) techniques. Thisprocess focuses on past behaviors (what did you do?) rather than opinions (what do you think?).When students interview for full-time employment and internships, they are expected to relateexperiences showing how they’ve developed and demonstrated competencies important to theemployer. The STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is a technique for describing actionsrelated to specific competencies. Competency development and demonstration are also criticalcomponents of our departmental outcomes assessment plan. This paper discusses BBI, therelationship between BBI and STARs, how we are integrating STARs into our curriculum fromfreshman to senior years, how our students successfully use STARs, and how

Since theseseminars were not part of the curriculum, the cooperation of the instructors who teach theprogramming classes was essential for its success.With cooperation from the instructors in the programming classes, an orientation to thelearning center was planned as part of the class.

The writing consultants give a series of thirty-minute modular lectures fiveto six times over the course of the semester on process-focused rhetorical writing strategies andhold office hours where they are available to answer questions that students have about writingassignments. Student writing assignments are evaluated by writing consultants and are returned,often with extensive feedback. All of the writing assignments are pass/fail, and many studentsare required to revise assignments in order to receive a passing grade.In its current format
