Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Eta Delta chapter of Beta Alpha Psi and determine whether its group culture is enhancing or diminishing its success. Daniel Coyle, in his book, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups, examined several successful organizations including the U.S. Navy’s Seal Team Six, IDEO, the San Antonio Spurs, and Google.

Learning How To Learn, Kyle Duffie
Learning How To Learn, Kyle Duffie
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and create a discussion regarding the human science of learning.

My first semester tutoring I taught “firing from the hip.” Simply answering questions or working problems myself and explaining them as I went along. And yes, I do believe this style of tutoring helped these students. Looking back however, I can’t help but think of myself as someone living in the 17th …
