Description
Summary:Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are being championed by high profile organizations (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2011, Olson & Riordan, 2012) for their potential to engage undergraduates in research at scale. CUREs are learning experiences in which whole classes of students address a research question or problem with unknown outcomes or solutions that are of interest to the scientific community. A growing body of evidence demonstrates the benefits of CUREs for student learning, development and persistence in the natural sciences (Corwin, Graham, & Dolan, 2015, Gentile, Brenner, & Stephens, 2017, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, 2015, Rodenbusch, Hernandez, Simmons and Dolan, 2016). This guide will walk you through designing and implementing an Undergraduate Research Experience.
