In this talk, Dr. Brownell will present research on the experiences of women in undergraduate science courses. Dr. Brownell’s research shows gender gaps in exam performance, participation in class discussions, students’ confidence in their perception of their own intelligence, students’ perception of other students’ intelligence, and student perception of instructor humor in the classroom. Collectively, this work highlights that there are gender inequities present in college science classrooms that may not be apparent to instructors and that instructors may need to reconsider structuring undergraduate courses to mitigate these gender gaps.

With a focus on equity in science education, Dr. Sara Brownell (Arizona State University) will discuss the impacts of course-based undergraduate research experiences and address how you can assess the outcomes of your own CURE course.

This fall, the Writing Center is implementing a new Dissertation Workshop Series for graduate students. The first workshop offered in the series will be a panel featuring representatives from the Graduate School, Writing Center, English Language Learning, the Library, and the Ombuds Office. Panelists will address key questions graduate students have about the process of dissertation writing: essential deadlines and dates, how to start writing and researching, resources on campus to support their success, as well as tips for the relational aspects of dissertation writing (self-care, communicating with advisors and committee members, etc.). Registration is required, please register here. Lunch provided.

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are a type of course that allow faculty to combine their research programs and teaching while providing students enrolled in the course an opportunity to conduct authentic research. In this presentation, Dr. Cissy Ballen (University of Minnesota) will describe the CURE model, including research on CUREs and how they differ from traditional lab courses. Dr. David Matus (Stony Brook) will share his experience designing a CURE and lessons learned while implementing this model in the classroom.
