Abstract: As part of a general education undergraduate astronomy course at a minority-serving university in the Midwestern US, students completed an observing project with the Global Telescope Network (GTN), where they participated in realistic practices used by professional astronomers, including proposal writing and peer review. This study investigates students’ experiences and perceived impacts of participation in the project. The iteratively coded and analyzed data includes an essay assignment [N = 59] administered over seven semesters. Students were prompted to address what they liked, disliked, or would change about the project experience.
