You are invited
to share your beliefs about writing and school
by participating in a research study called
“Writing Assessment for Diverse Student Writers”
Participants will receive $20 to take a survey
The survey will be administered
from 2 p.m – 4 p.m. on
Wednesday, May 25th – Kiely Hall Room 316
Who is conducting the study? My name is Catherine, and I am a teacher and Ph.D. candidate at Teachers College, Columbia University. I believe every person has important and interesting things to say about writing, and I am interested in learning about your unique thoughts and experiences.
What will I be asked to do? If you participate, you will be asked to take a survey. After that, you may be asked to participate in further activities (if you are interested), which will include sharing your writing and talking with me about your experiences.
Is my participation voluntary and confidential? Yes.
Would it be possible to take the survey at another time? Yes. Feel free to write or call to schedule an alternative time to meet.
