The <italic toggle="yes">Tigriopus</italic> CURE – A Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience with Concomitant Supplemental Instruction

Evidence indicates that students who participate in scientific research during their undergraduate experience are more likely to pursue careers in the STEM disciplines and to develop increased scientific reasoning and literacy skills. One avenue to increase student engagement in research is via thei...
