**7. Study community and sample**

The community of the study consisted of the members of students Groups (CE) and (CN); however, the sample of the study was the students members who answered the survey and uploaded their activities on the electronic 1000-point system.

**Table 2** shows the study community was 967 students from both students groups, with an overwhelming majority from CE students' group (857 = 89%), while the highest participation in the study, that is, those who responded to the survey, was from CN students' group (54 = 59.4%).

SQU selected two colleges for the project's pilot phase, one of which was a science college (CN), and the other a humanities institution (CE). Out of 967 students, 56 (5%) responded to the survey, which was given to the CE and CN student organizations. The survey was sent to both student groups *via* their email addresses. It consisted of six closed-ended questions and used a Likert 5-point scale. The participants were asked to

indicate how much they agreed with each of the five claims. The scale had five categories: (1) strongly disagree, (2) disagree, (3) neither agree nor disagree, (4) agree, and (5) strongly agree. To get authorization to distribute the survey, an email was sent to the assistant of each college with a link to the survey (**Table 3**).

**Table 3** shows that 41 (73.2%) female students responded to the survey compared to only 15 (26.8%) male students. Additionally, the table reveals that among the respondents, first-year students had the lowest number (2 = 3.6%), while four-year students had the largest number (22 = 39.3%).
