National Academies Press, 2015
Students who participate in scientific research as undergraduates report gaining many benefits from the experience. However, undergraduate research done independently under a faculty member's guidance or as part of an internship, regardless of its individual benefits, is inherently limited in its overall impact. Faculty members and sponsoring…

Lee, Christopher J.; Toven-Lindsey, Brit; Shapiro, Casey; Soh, Michael; Mazrouee, Sepideh; Levis-Fitzgerald, Marc; Sanders, Erin R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
We sought to test a hypothesis that systemic blind spots in active learning are a barrier both for instructors--who cannot see what every student is actually thinking on each concept in each class--and for students--who often cannot tell precisely whether their thinking is right or wrong, let alone exactly how to fix it. We tested a strategy for…
