The study can be considered representative because of the high number of participants and broad survey of all semester groups.
Ninety-nine senior high school students (11th graders) were recruited for the first evaluation, and the second-semester group consisted of 72 students (also 11th graders).
All FYI students must participate in an end-of-semester group project in which students build on the course concepts to collectively answer the question "How can one person make a difference?" The student projects are publicly presented at the end of Fall semester at a public capstone showcase that features all 450 students showing and viewing projects.
In the new high incidence stratum, pre-intervention incidence rates were more comparable between control (40/1000person-semesters) and intervention (52/1000person-semesters) groups.
Their analyses revealed no significant differences in outcomes between the Summer and single-semester groups.
In that semester, a group of 26 students enrolled in the experimental 1-mo active learning, while the others made up the comparison group.
At noon before the last class of the semester, a group of us met at the Hong Kong restaurant, in Harvard Square, to discuss what to do about Uncle Joe.
When I returned five weeks later, the new semester's group of Americans had arrived and Juan Antonio had already found a taller, blonder and (I could only assume) more sentimental version of me.
Each semester, the group had at least three 1-h meetings to discuss lecture segments, prompted by prior viewing of one or two excerpts and reading the R/O/Gs.
"The only student population Cole represents and advocates for are white men in fraternities, not the vulnerable student population that has been fighting for representation all semester," the group continued.
Just last semester, a group of my fellow students and I partnered with the South African-based Centre Study of Violence and Reconciliation to draft country reports on transitional justice mechanisms in 21 different African countries.
