The authors conducted a case study of a first year Communication discipline specific seminar class to determine how the use of a common reader for the course affected students’ self-efficacy. Using focus groups and an end of semester storytelling assignment, the authors collected data that revealed three themes: choice for participation, identity struggles, and college expectations. Whether or not the students read the common reader (Paper Towns by John Green) and whether or not they took a leadership role in preparing the public research presentation based on the reader, the focus group discussions allowed students to discuss selfidentity issues, as well as their own college expectations. Feeling positive about their major, choice to live in the residence halls, friends, and programs of which they are a part helped the participating students feel they had made a competent choice. In assessing the themes that emerged, student self-efficacy was demonstrated in all three areas of self-determination theory: competence, relatedness, and autonomy.
