Course Embedded Undergraduate Research Workshop

This workshop will focus on how instructors can use backward design to embed undergraduate research projects in their courses, and on how to use the community portal to select projects for students to work on in class. Participants will be asked to watch a brief video before the workshop and to bring along the syllabus for the course they wish to modify. By the end of the workshop you should have a working draft of the project for the spring semester.

What is course embedded undergraduate research and why do it? Course-embedded research allows students to conduct independent research projects under the supervision of an instructor in a class. By embedding real projects into a course, instructors can have students directly apply concepts discussed in lecture. This can also benefit students from under-represented groups or those who might not have the funds or time to do research or an internship. Students in course-embedded research exhibit higher gains in understanding the construction of knowledge, having the ability to carry out data analysis and disciplinary writing, and understanding the use of evidence to support hypotheses and assertions. Instructors can also benefit if the projects the students work on are related to their own scholarship. 

Presented by Scott Cooper, Undergraduate Research & Creativity, and Bill Cerbin, CATL.
