CUNY Academic Commons

Hmm. I don't love the idea of changing the user's settings, but it does appear that the "purpose" question may not be as clear as it should be? Ie, in this case, we have a student doing work for a class thinking that "teaching" is the best choice from the "purpose" options.

On yesterday's call we decided not to update the purpose question language based on this particular case, but to keep an eye out for similar sites misclassified as courses in the future in case it's a trend. We also don't want to change this site's settings without contacting the user, so we're going to do that (Matt, are you going to, or do you want help on that?) and see if that sheds any light on their confusion as well.

Thanks, Colin. I wrote to the user a few days ago, but haven't heard back as of yet
