Description
Most students in STEM are intimidated by reading primary research papers. However, being able to understand and critically analyze information from scientific literature is a critical skill. To scaffold the learning and development of this skill, I have designed and tested ways to engage students of various backgrounds and experiences in reading research papers. In this brief presentation, I share two successful strategies that have received positive student feedback and, perhaps more importantly, require minimal preparation by the instructor.
