Hello! My name is Natalie Fabert, and I am a doctoral student under the direction of Professor Bianca Bernstein in the School of Letters and Sciences. First of all, welcome to your first week as an official ASU Sun Devil! Also, congratulations on your decision to begin this journey with the University College. The courses available to you through the UC Major and Career Exploration program will help you learn how to best position yourself for success at ASU and beyond.
As you may already know, Arizona State University is a research institution. Research is the process of learning something new about the world by gathering and analyzing information using a systematic series of steps. Instructors and students are not only at ASU to teach and learn but to create new knowledge through scholarly research. Below are examples of research topics that are currently being examined by ASU researchers:
• How to create renewable energy sources
• How to apply social psychological principles to reduce religious conflict
• How to ensure long-term access to clean water supplies for Phoenix area residents
• How to invent technology that can better detect chronic diseases
• How to plan for sustainable urban development
• How to enhance physical therapy with virtual reality software
As you can see, ASU researchers study a wide variety of topics. As a scholarly community, we pride ourselves on conducting research that meets practical and social needs of local and global communities.
For your UNI 150 assignment titled “Pen Pal Letter,” you will be asked to participate in my dissertation research project, designed to explore the impact of a training delivered over the Internet. This opportunity will be the first of many you will have during your time at Arizona State University to contribute to research as a participant or as the author of your own study!
You will be asked to complete a series of questions. As stated in the UNI 150 syllabus, data collected in this class may be used for research purposes; this includes the information you submit as part of this study. Your instructor will not have access to the answers you submit in this study. Once you have completed both parts of this assignment/study, you will receive a confirmation of completion. You will need to submit this confirmation to your instructor to receive credit.
For students who give their permission, data collected in this study will be linked to their overall GPA at the end of the Fall 2012 semester. This information will be kept in a password protected, encrypted location. Mary Dawes, the director of the UC academic and career exploration program, will use students’ information to link grades to the submitted data. She will then be transforming the data into a list that does not contain any identifying information. Granting permission to access your GPA for the purposes of this research study is voluntary and will not affect the credit you will receive for completing this assignment. You can withdraw your consent at any time without penalty.
If you have any questions concerning the research study, please contact me at [email protected]. If you have any questions about your rights as a subject/participant in this research, or if you feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact the Chair of the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board, through the ASU Office of Research Integrity and Assurance, at (480) 965-6788.
Thank you,
