Kevin J. Tu; Angela C. Sun; Daniel Levin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) significantly enhance the outcomes of students who participate. Unfortunately, students may face barriers to engaging in UREs, which creates challenges for students' development of essential research skills that may not be covered thoroughly in laboratory classes. Overall, there is a need for a curriculum…
