Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs)

Presenters: Courtney Rivard (Dept. of English and Comparative Literature) and Kelly Hogan (Dept. of Biology)

Do you want your students to engage in authentic research experiences while they are in your class? A research experience can expose students to the intellectual challenges of collecting and analyzing data.  It also gives them the opportunity to engage with the ideas and practices of your discipline.  Sign-up for this workshop to learn about the best practices for implementing CUREs in your class.

With the support of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Summer School, UNC’s Summer Institute on College Teaching is running a professional development workshop series this summer for any faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who are interested in learning about the best practices for bringing active learning to their classrooms. Participants in the workshop series will learn how to foster diverse and inclusive classrooms, optimally implement active learning techniques, assess their instruction, and design learning goals and effectively use class time to help students achieve those goals. Attendees of all 8 workshops will earn a certificate as an Education Fellow.
