Topics that ranked highly in survey responses but not in assignment choices were possibly due to:

* Difficulty finding relevant datasets, or
* How we categorized students' assignment submissions (see the paper for details)

The figure below shows survey responses. Interest in environment, education, health, econ. development, and community engagement were consistent in survey responses s well as choices made by students in open-ended data-centric assignments (i.e., through choice of dataset and analysis focus)

There were other positive impacts of SRC additions that were felt across all six campuses. For more details see the paper. This abridged write-up also describes the work in the context of the larger effort that was funded by the NSF in 2022.

On the other hand, the campuses WITHOUT competitive CS enrollment policies saw significant increases in sense of belonging in CS, both between control and treatment terms and within treatment terms.

At the campuses WITH competitive CS enrollment policies—where students already at the University need to jump through further hoops to major in CS—we did NOT see any significant changes in sense of belonging in CS. These students' sense of belonging appeared to be relatively stable.

Yep. Good thing a teacher of ancient history is poking at it!

Great! Be warned though, it’s a pretty limited set of events.

Thanks! Feel free to comment or suggest changes

Big coincidence, but I have spent some free time playing with this exact thought observablehq.com/@ayaankazero...

I'm teaching data visualisation for the first time in the Spring quarter, and stuff like this is extremely helpful. So just wanted to say thanks!

I’ve been keeping one eye on your updates about the book and your recent post nudged me to buy it on Thursday. So not the weekend, but maybe that was part of it for others as well. (I do plan to use portions in my classes once it’s stable, but have not listed it anywhere just yet.)
