Entering Research: a Facilitator's Manual - 9781429258579

"Entering Research represents a substantive advance in undergraduate research. It provides the tools to fortify a new generation of scientists to navigate the shoals of research to find the joy and thrill of discovery. It will bring a more diverse group of students to successful research careers, enriching the scientific community and enhancing the creativity of the research that emerges from it."---Jo Handelsman

Instructors who have taught the Entering Research workshop series as a seminar course using the materials in this manual

"I think that each of the (workshop) topics help the students focus their research efforts and their understanding of authentic science."

"After my experience facilitating the Entering Research Seminar, I have more of an awareness of the guidance that even the best students need as they learn to communicate with others about their research."

The undergraduate students who took their classes: "Being able to discuss different situations with peers who were going through the same experience made me feel much more comfortable about entering a research situation for the first

"It helped me communicate with my mentor a lot better because I had to ask them questions many times for the (workshop assignments), so we got to know each other better."

"I was clueless about how to start to even search for a mentor, and it was nice that the (workshops) were able to guide me through the process."
