- Doctoral Student Develops Groundbreaking Theory About Chopin
Jessica Castleberry began playing piano at age seven, and by her 20s, she was on course for a performance and teaching career. But the long hours of solo practice made for a lonely life. She found a new passion in music history at the University of Northern Colorado, where she earned a master's degree. In UNC's Music D.A. – Music History and Literature program, she's made discoveries about classical musician Frédéric Chopin.
- Student Research Suggests Achievement Emotions May Hold Key to Academic Success
Alex Graves is researching chemistry students' achievement emotions for his University of Northern Colorado's Chemical Education Ph.D. program dissertation. Achievement emotions are those tied to reaching a goal, and they affect how well a student performs a task. That performance then impacts achievement emotions. For example, a student with high levels of anxiety will likely perform worse; then, performing worse will increase their anxiety.
