International Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 5 by Rita Xu and Version 4 by Jacqueline S. McLaughlin.

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are a proven methodology for transforming short-term study abroad to yield higher impact and quality student outcomes, especially as they relate to teaching environmental sustainability.

  • biodiversity
  • conservation
  • short-term study abroad
  • sustainability
  • CUREs
  • undergraduate research
