Direct versus indirect data sources <empty>

Direct Data Source
If you want to learn students’ views about a class, you can ask them directly. For example, in a CLIP inquiry that focused on peer study groups of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students, the CLIP administered a survey to students.

Indirect Data Source
Faculty would be an indirect source of information about students’ views; they can tell you what students told them. For example, in the CLIP inquiry of STEM peer study groups, instructors of STEM classes were asked about their awareness of the existence of peer study groups.
