Typically, 30 to 40 people attendthese virtual meetings. Project teams present their current project plans on assessment andproject design and are able to get detailed feedback from everyone in attendance. Project ReviewNight is meant to allow teams to meet and find advisors in a variety of fields of expertise and isintended so that teams could identify and recognize problems early on in the project process.Lastly, this process allows for all members of EWB Cal Poly, SLO to periodically get updates onthe status of the other project teams, as well as making sure teams organize their

well to remember this method, as itrequires no preparation (besides a well-formed question) and no additional technology in theclassroom [2]. However, with a little planning and forethought, student response cards (a set ofsymbolic or color-coded index cards) can provide additional granularity and open up variousmultiple-choice questions [3], [4]. These pre-technological SRS approaches have very lowcognitive demands on instructors and students alike. Both methods predate the development ofelectronic SRSs.The modern electronic SRS began in the 1960s as hardwired audience response systemsdeveloped for the movie industry. As early as 1966, Stanford University introduced an SRS tothe classroom, followed by a hardwired system at Christopher Newport

Typically, focus groups arerun by a trained moderator and include 4-10 participants. Because people are naturallyinfluenced by the comments and opinions of others, focus groups can capture people’s sociallyconstructed thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs [6]. Inhibitions soften in a group setting, so focusgroups can encourage candor as well as allow the researcher to explore unanticipated discussionissues [6].
