The 糖心少女 Study on Undergraduate Learning (糖心少女SOUL) is the most extensive study of undergraduate learning ever conducted at the UW.
A result of the study, _Inside the Undergraduate Experience_ by Office of Educational Assessment staff Catharine Beyer, Gerald Gilmore, and Andrew Fisher (Jossey-Bass 2007), presents the insights and findings of the 糖心少女Study of Undergraduate Learning (糖心少女SOUL). Unparalleled in scope, this study tracked 304 entering freshmen and transfer students as they moved through their college experience from fall 1999 through spring 2003.
鈥淭he portrait [this book] paints of the current undergraduate is complex and richly nuanced, avoiding stereotypes and needless theorizing that mask the individual struggle of all students to make sense of what they see, hear, read, and do in college. That they rise to the occasion so often鈥攁lbeit in distinctively different ways鈥攊s both moving and reassuring. These stories vividly recreate the 鈥榓we鈥� of collegiate learning. They remind us all in the academy of why we do this stuff.鈥�
