- How does your previous experience influence your thinking about your research project?
I was once a graduate myself who was unsure of my next life steps. I was a reading tutor for a couple years before I was accepted at St. Kate's and committed to my chosen career path. I remember my own agitation trying to find information on my next steps. I feel a connection to the information seeking that this group of tutors is currently doing and I feel empathy for them. I want them to be successful in their life pursuits.
- What do you think are the most important factors influencing the information seeking behavior of your target study group?
There are multiple factors for this group. One that they all share however is cost. These are folks who are paying off loans, or paying tuition. some have rents to pay, car costs, etc.
- What design approaches could you use to answer your research questions?
I will be doing in person and email interviews with these folks.
