Abstract

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) were originally developed by biologists to answer the call for undergraduate curriculum reform and expose more students to authentic research experiences [Wei and Woodin. 2011. Undergraduate research experiences in biology: Alternatives to the apprenticeship model. CBE Life Sciences Education. 10(2): 111–230]. Since their creation CUREs have been well developed in certain sciences, but Math CUREs are all but absent from the literature. Like biology, math programs suffer from a lack of research experiences and many students are not able to participate in events like REUs. In this paper, we propose a Math CURE model. We will discuss our experiences and data obtained from CUREs implemented in our courses and our plans for future projects and iterations of the Math CUREs.
