Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hamel, Jennifer A.; ter Hofstede, Hannah M.; Gauthier, Adrienne; Lopatto, David; Merton, Prudence; Vandermast, David – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2021
Few studies have investigated the effects of combining undergraduate research with study abroad. The authors present student self-reported learning gains from two undergraduate courses that embed research within study abroad courses. Students in one course worked in small groups on original research projects; students in the second course…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
In their 2012 report, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology advocated "replacing standard science laboratory courses with discovery-based research courses"--a challenging proposition that presents practical and pedagogical difficulties. In this paper, we describe our collective experiences working with the…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
There is widespread agreement that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs should provide undergraduates with research experience. Practical issues and limited resources, however, make this a challenge. We have developed a bioinformatics project that provides a course-based research experience for students at a diverse group of…
