The
general trend underlying my research centers on college
student success. How can we best create a teaching and
learning environment that allows students to achieve their
academic goals? Much of this work involves the
development of survey and questionnaire instruments to
measure behavioral outcomes--involving good theoretical
design of instruments, establishment of validity and
reliability, and other measurement operations.
