Olchaskey, Kiley Amico. "Community Building within Corequisite Support: Faculty Perception of Corequisite English Education at Georgia Gwinnett College and Valdosta State University,” Master's thesis, Valdosta State University, 2026. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/10428/7749 This thesis examines faculty perception of the corequisite Learning Support course, ENGL 0999 within the University System of Georgia. Through interviewing five instructors of the course at Georgia Gwinnett College and Valdosta State University, this thesis evaluates four main thematic aspects of the course that were recurring throughout the series of interviews. There are four categories: (1) Community within the corequisite classroom, (2) Assignments and assignment prompt design, (3) student motivation and attendance, and (4) the emotional impact of teaching corequisite courses. To establish these themes, this thesis utilizes thematic coding to best convey the instructors’ thoughts and options without the chance of misconstruing them. Finally, this thesis analyses the interviews to determine the theoretical best practices to ensure student success within the corequisite support class.
