GR1 - Analysis
Observations and Interviews
1. Abigail - Course 3 PhD, Research Scientist
Abigail uses referrals and UROP ads to find students for her UROPS. Once in contact, she judges by their promptness in response time. Both she and her senior lab members interview candidates to compare notes, resulting in a long process time.
Her biggest problem is her disappointment with the undergraduate students who are not serious about the research to be done. She feels that there is a lack of commitment and understanding of the research opportunity. If the students are more interested in pay, she takes it as a bad sign.
