Team Member Qualifications

At the start of each semester, we will establish a meeting time. Meetings are typically recorded.

Some of the data involves statistical analysis, transcription (listening back to the data and correcting), and collection. I am looking for timely, reliable, determined and detailed oriented students. You must be able to use APA 7th edition, and are responsive to emails (within 72 hours). Basic research experience is required.

CITI training completed for human subjects, unofficial transcripts, resume, and reports the standard hours of availability per week to dedicate to the research team when sending the initial email. Please note, I have 2 projects on KRSP, it is important you are specific in which one you want to assist with. APA 7th edition, detailed oriented, responsive to emails (within 72 hours). Please be aware as previously mentioned repeated absences without notification may result in a warning/strike, and continued instances could lead to removal from the group due to the type of work we are doing that requires full timely commitment. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO EMAILS WITHIN 72 HOURS WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM THE TEAM. FAILURE TO FINISH TASKS BY THE ASSIGNED DATES WITHOUT COMMUNICATING A MINIMUM OF 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DEADLINE (if it will not be done) WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM TEAM.

Description

The purpose of this narrative qualitative study is to investigate the lived experiences of Students with Disabilities (SWD) who receive accommodations according to federal laws that support SWD attending post-secondary institutions. This study aims to understand the perspectives utilizing accommodations and experiences of being a SWD in college. Thus, the following research question will guide my investigation: What are the lived experiences of students with disabilities regarding the accommodations they receive from the university?
