was powerful and compelling.

Your context slides gave a strong grounding for the work that followed.

Clear research questions.  Suggest foreshadowing here briefly why your study is important and how it fills a gap in the literature.  Some of that is obvious with the pandemic, but make it explicit.

Loved the opening with your grandfather.

Your personal story and connection to community college was really helpful and grounding for your perspective for this work

Very clear and calm, clearly an expert in the realm of community colleges.

Cool

Is that completion data for that cohort?  How could students from the 19-20 cohort take 5.2 years to complete?

How are the context initiatives related to your study?  Maybe just the Distance Ed codes in title V?

Does everybody know what title V is?

Research questions: Are the strategies internal to the student and the obstacles external structural elements of the college?  Or are they intended to be broader than that?

From my experience, I think you shouldn’t feel pressure to spend too much time on the theory section, my experience is they really wanted to get to the methods, I’d say the same with the lit review.  I like the one page slide for the lit review, you might not need to go into each study you sight, the committee has read your DP.

Institutional strategies, so the students are going to be asked about their interaction with the college?  How are you going to tease out institutional structures that were supportive/barriers separately from more intrinsic features of students?  Or maybe are you open to that as a finding?

Is it about online learning, or online learning during the COVID 19 pandemic?

Specifically talking about social science students in the fall of 21, do you want to include that specificity in your question?

Class taught online before and by an instructor who has taught online before?

I did get a little confused when you spoke about the quantitative data. What is the role of this data in your study? Are your doing mixed methods?

Giving the questionnaire at the start of the interview and allowing the participants to settle into the process supports your questions.

Are you thinking about experience across demographic indicators?  You mentioned gender, but what about the experience of BIPOC students, or low income students, or first gen students?
