Faculty support and undergraduate research

Nancy H. Hensel, Elizabeth L. Paul

Although many higher education institutions have embraced undergraduate research as a powerful learning pedagogy across all disciplines and all types of institutions, challenges remain in funding reassigned time for faculty and providing courses that support undergraduate research. There is often significant controversy about the reflection of faculty engagement in undergraduate research in reappointment, promotion, and tenure decisions. The authors discuss the many aspects of providing support for faculty working with undergraduate researchers, including infusion into campus practices and cultures. --Provided by publisher's website.
