From proposal to poster: course-based undergraduate research experience in a physiology laboratory course.

From proposal to poster: course-based undergraduate research experience in a physiology laboratory course. Adv Physiol Educ. 2020 Sep 01;44(3):459-463 Authors: Rennhack JP, VanRyn VS, Poteracki JM, Wehrwein EA Abstract The laboratory course is an excellent venue to apply content, practice inquiry, improve critical thinking, practice key clinical skills, and work with data. The use of inquiry-based course projects allows for students to propose open ended questions, form a hypothesis, design an experiment, collect data, analyze data, draw conclusion, and present their findings. This comprehensive experience is ideal for a capstone (senior level) laboratory course that is the culmination of 4 yr of study in the degree. At Michigan State University, the capstone laboratory has incorporated a formal course-based research experience in human physiology. The rationale and logistics for running such an experience are described in this paper. PMID: 32795123 [PubMed - in process]
