Multi-Institutional, Multidisciplinary Study of the Impact of Course-Based Research Experiences

Numerous national reports have called for reforming laboratory courses so that all students experience the research process. In response, many course-based research experiences (CREs) have been developed and implemented. Research on the impact of these CREs suggests that student benefits can be simi...
