  3. View the Interviewee Recruitment Summary to make see the number and types of instructors we have recorded so far.

    1. Type of instructor (Faculty/Graduate Student Instructor/Instructor Assistant)
    2. The instructor's title (i.e. Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Teaching Assistant, Administrative Assistant, etc.)

At this early stage of our recruitment process, these distributions act as guidelines and do not strictly need to be followed. The priority is on getting an initial batch of interviewees recruited and then using these guidelines to select more.

For each group of 6 interviewees within an instructor group, we want to try and match the following behavioral and demographic variable distributions. Variables with importance high are given most priority. The medium and low distributions are more flexible. The distributions are based on the 2009 Sakai Multi-Institutional Survey Initiative results as well as background knowledge of the Data Analysis Group.
