选修课程要求本科生每学期从大量课程中进行选择以供注册。事实证明，很难描述这个决定命运的选择过程，因为它在很大程度上仍然未被观察到。使用数字跟踪数据在私立研究型大学大规模观察这一过程，并结合定性学生访谈，我们提供了一项新颖的实证研究，将课程考虑作为课程选择的重要组成部分。案例大学大多数本科生使用的课程探索平台的 Clickstream 日志显示，学生在第一个秋季学期平均考虑注册 9 门课程（< 可用课程的 2%），并且这些课程预测学生两年后将选择哪些学术专业。二十九次访谈证实，学生体验到的考虑是复杂的，并揭示了考虑策略的变化，这些策略可能会影响考虑的展开方式。考虑为干预公平、职业漏斗和大学毕业等问题提供了一个有前途的场所。
Elective curriculums require undergraduates to choose from a large roster of courses for enrollment each term. It has proven difficult to characterize this fateful choice process because it remains largely unobserved. Using digital trace data to observe this process at scale at a private research university, together with qualitative student interviews, we provide a novel empirical study of course consideration as an important component of course selection. Clickstream logs from a course exploration platform used by most undergraduates at the case university reveal that students consider on average nine courses for enrollment for their first fall term (<2% of available courses) and these courses predict which academic major students declare two years later. Twenty-nine interviews confirm that students experience consideration as complex and reveal variation in consideration strategies that may influence how consideration unfolds. Consideration presents a promising site for intervention in problems of equity, career funneling, and college completion.
