Kelsey Smart; Julia A. Chester; Daniel Guberman
International Journal for Students as Partners, v8 n2 p144-153 2024
This case study explores the impact of a student partnership in an undergraduate psychology course focused on alcohol use and disorders at a large public university in the United States. It shares insights into the process of creating a student partnership program, pairing a student with an instructor, and sharing feedback via observation notes from the student perspective. This case study highlights the value of this student partnership by detailing the course implementations inspired by observation notes and conversations about pedagogical goals. The three pedagogical goals of the partnership were to foster an accessible learning environment, increase student engagement, and structure the course based on learning outcomes. The partners share their final thoughts on the process through a discussion of the strengths of and future opportunities from this experience.
