Interdisciplinary Efforts Used to Assess Research Experiences for Undergraduates.
- Authors
Erbes, Stella
- Abstract
The article discusses the interdisciplinary efforts of faculty members from education and the sciences at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California to assess their Summer Undergraduate Research in Biology (SURB). SURB is an undergraduate-research program that facilitates the maturation of undergraduates as biological scientists by immersing them in 11 weeks of original research. According to the article, the research project provided an opportunity for three undergraduate researchers to work alongside the faculty mentor from the department of Teacher Education. Suggestions given after reviewing the steps taken to launch the formal program assessment are provided. Also offered are suggestions regarding data analysis.
