Cosima Adjei

Course Convenor, School of Applied Competence. Research interests in routine adherence and longitudinal self-report; oversees the course's shape and its weekly teaching programme.

Completed a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) at this university, where hallmates recorded them initiating unprompted conversation with another person on four separate occasions across three years — a dataset later cited, without permission, in a since-retracted sociology honours thesis. Left the discipline for behavioural adherence research shortly after and is now a standing authority in the field: their longitudinal study of forty thousand New Year’s resolutions, now in its eleventh year, is cited in journals they no longer have time to read.

Convenes SLOP1521 and is responsible for the course’s structure, its assessment schedule, and the standing of every unit it examines. Prior appointments include a term reviewing self-report instruments for institutional wellbeing programmes — which is where the course’s insistence on stated arithmetic (reflections, criteria weights, everything) comes from.
