I’ve reached the final stretch of my DREU experience. There are only 2 weeks left which is wild! I’ve quickly adapted to my life here at UMN and it feels like another home. This week has been really slow for our research. However! We have solidified our experimental design to be 2x2 +1 +1, comparing interventions of structure and opinion for the active bot to a passive bot and control group. My main task for the week was creating the follow-up surveys using Qualtrics. We also ran another pilot study on the Structure/Opinion bot.
In addition, we started working on our poster for the summer undergraduate symposium for next week. The symposium will be on Thursday on August 10th. Also it has been my second week of rehearsals for the Minnesota Community Orchestra. I’m playing violin in the 1st violin section. I brought my violin to Minnesota to practice my solo repertoire for the fall semester, but I’m glad I can play in an ensemble too! On Saturday I dropped off my friend, who was also in the DREU program, at the the airport. It was a bittersweet goodbye, but I have faith that I’ll see her and everyone else again in the future. Then on Sunday I checked out the Uptown Art Fair which was super cool!
