Abstract
A semester-long research project for second-semester organic chemistry lab sections was developed. Student projects were based on preliminary data from faculty research that suggested the natural p...
Highlights
Undergraduate research is one of the most powerful pedagogical tools to educate and inspire students, especially those from diverse backgrounds.[1]
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) (Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences) surveys were used to 335 compare course student outcomes in the pilot lab vs the traditional lab
Student responses to questions related to broader learning goals that are typical for a CURE survey are outlined in Figure 2.1c The results provide strong evidence toward the benefits of the pilot labs vs the traditional labs
Summary
Undergraduate research is one of the most powerful pedagogical tools to educate and inspire students, especially those from diverse backgrounds.[1]. A major challenge at this point in the project was the inexperience of second-semester Organic Chemistry students in a research lab 320 students’ involvements in research post-course were tracked to observe potential differences between students who were enrolled in the pilot lab vs the traditional lab.
