CONDUCTING FRESHWATER RESEARCH AT A PRIMARILY UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTION: THE RESEARCH COURSE SEQUENCE
The NSF recognizes over 2,700 institutions categorized as Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs). These institutions do not have the typical body of graduate-student and post-graduate researchers that usually carry out research activities. Undergraduate students are carrying a full course load to complete their degrees in four years – approximately five courses per semester, sometimes more. Most undergraduate students do not have the time to be involved with, let alone conduct, independent research projects. At Daemen College, a PUI in Buffalo, NY, the Natural Sciences department has made research activities a priority and requirement for degree completion. Our five-semester course sequence dedicates time for students to learn how to read primary literature, conduct a literature review, design experiments, and disseminate results in multiple forms. We utilize “research contracts” to ensure that grade-granting standards are tailored to each student and their project. Supervising faculty members also encourage students to present work at regional and international conferences, and ultimately to publish. An outline of this course sequence and relevant materials is presented to broaden the conversation about structured undergraduate research outside of a typical research lab structure.
