Undergraduate Student Participation in an Evaluation of a Police Program: A High-Impact Practice

Students as assessment partners: A collaborative, qualitative evaluation of the Guns on Campus CURE

“…Given their potential to both promote equity and propagate interest in research over time, CUREs' longitudinal payoffs might be maximized through their deployment in introductory level courses, allowing students to start their research careers from year one-a stated goal of the CURE evaluated herein (Auchincloss et al, 2014;Harrison et al, 2011) (Hensel, 2018;Parsons et al, 2021). The deployment of CUREs within the humanities and social sciences may further disseminate their academic and social-emotional benefits, illustrate wider career prospects in such majors, and also stimulate inquiry by empowering students as active learners in disciplines that historically prize critical thinking (Campbell & Skoog, 2004;Cavanaugh et al, 2016;Conover, 2015;Craney et al, 2011;George et al, 2015;Parsons et al, 2021;Ruth et al, 2021).…”
