The UTQAP reviews occur approximately every 7-8 years for all departments and programs in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science and looks at 4 areas of focus: academics, support, community, and extracurriculars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our collaboration with the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science, design researchers on our UTQAP teams supported and facilitated the student consultation portion of the review. For the Fall-Winter 2023-24 term, we collaborated with 9 units:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Canadian Studies&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centre for Industrial Relations &amp; Human Resources&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cognitive Science&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centre for Criminology &amp; Sociolegal Studies&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Critical Studies in Equity &amp; Solidarity&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Department of Spanish &amp; Portuguese&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Department of Statistical Sciences&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mark S.

Through the research process, we learned about the importance of taking an empathetic peer-to-peer approach to student-centered research which helped us become stronger researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Knowledge and Connectedness through Interviews&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/innovationhub\/files\/2024\/04\/Building-Knowledge-and-Connectedness-through-Interviews-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"407\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/innovationhub\/files\/2024\/04\/Building-Knowledge-and-Connectedness-through-Interviews-.png\" alt=\"Two overlapping speech bubbles with heart and pencil in the centre\" class=\"wp-image-16611\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/innovationhub\/files\/2024\/04\/Building-Knowledge-and-Connectedness-through-Interviews-.png 485w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/innovationhub\/files\/2024\/04\/Building-Knowledge-and-Connectedness-through-Interviews--300x252.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As part of the design research process, we conducted interviews with current undergraduate and graduate students and alumni to understand their experiences in the program. Our team shared that interviewing students from different programs was a significant part of the data collection process because it was the stage that led to many of our favorite moments. We felt that taking a human-centered approach is essential because this allows for more genuine insights. We valued connecting with the students at a deeper level to understand their true feelings and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Olya:<\/strong> Interviews aren\u2019t just data collection methods, but moments that can be distressing, therapeutic, or satisfying for students. Bearing witness to this humanness was my favorite part of being a design researcher at the Innovation Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our experiences, we gained new insights or more in-depth knowledge about student experiences at the university. Many interviews generated inspiring moments that often transformed into lingering thoughts, which allowed us to reflect on our own experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ellie<\/strong>: Listening to stories different than mine was fascinating, as I could see the university and my academic community from a different perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muthu<\/strong>: From the interviews, I understood exactly how many misconceptions I had about the problems that students faced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We appreciated the research methods that the Innovation Hub uses to understand student experiences, as it allows for the building of both knowledge and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Purpose through Making an Impact on the Student Community&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being part of the Arts &amp; Science UTQAP was a fulfilling experience, considering that our efforts to gather and analyze student feedback will go into making meaningful changes for students on campus.
