There is a book called my freshman year: what a professor learned about being a student. I have quotes about the book that we need to relate to my interview themes and questions. You should be using any relevant pieces of My Freshman Year in the literature review. What findings of hers are related to your project? How do her methods inform what you and your group members did? What did she find about the American University and how does it compare to what you and your groupmates found?

Chapter 5: Academically Speaking

- This chapter talks about how students don’t really talk about school/school topics with their friends. Could be related to how in our findings, when students go to the library with a group of friends they are more likely to get distracted/off topic. Many of our transcripts said that. Versus students that went with class members it was more focused because they’re not usually personal friends (more on topic)

“I learned that, although there was occasional talk about academics, it accounted for less than 5 percent of the total subjects I heard discussed. ” (page 290 in my book)

“Virtually none of the talk, aside from out-of-class meetings for a group project or joint homework session, concerned either the substantive content of a class or any other topic that might be labeled academic or intellectual.” (page 291 in my book)
