Book Review--A Guide to Course-Based Undergraduate Research: Developing and Implementing CUREs in the Natural Sciences

Abstract: Reviewed by Gita Bangera. Erin L. Dolan (University of Georgia) and Gabriela C. Weaver (University of Massachusetts Amherst) have set out on an ambitious venture to create a comprehensive guide to course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in the natural sciences. Their goal is to support faculty, and to some extent administrators, who would like to develop and implement CUREs as a pedagogical tool in higher education.

“…Higher education should be employing interventions, such as CUREs, that reliably counter the steady loss of good students from STEM. One research group estimated that if every undergraduate in the United States could take a CURE, an estimated 200,000 more students would graduate college in STEM fields each year (Dolan & Weaver, 2021). Considering that several CUREs have been rigorously studied, optimized, and disseminated, there are diverse, validated choices.…”

“…To take advantage of the many pedagogical and inclusive features of CUREs, Tiny Earth embodies the six hallmarks of a CURE: scientific research, iteration, ownership, relevance, discovery, and dissemination (Dolan & Weaver, 2021). Students choose their own soil, growth media, and research questions; engage in replicated, hypothesis-driven research; discover antibiotic-producing bacteria from soil; and communicate their research findings.…”

“…As an inclusive research experience has been accepted as an important element in predicting career success for our undergraduate student [1][2][3], Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) add tremendous value to BMB education [3,25]. Here, we describe a CURE module using the molecular cloning technique.…”

“…As an inclusive research experience has been accepted as an important element in predicting career success for our undergraduate student, [1][2][3] Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) add tremendous value to BMB education. 3,25 Here, we describe a CURE module using the molecular cloning technique. This commonly used BMB technique is repeatable and can be standalone or integrated with more functional characterization assays, making the design versatile and adaptable.…”
