Integrating teaching and research in undergraduate biology laboratory education

Course assessments reflect authentic scientific communication * The final paper should follow the format of an influential journal in the given field, and students should receive multiple iterations of feedback from peers and instructors. * Students should present their findings in a conference-like presentation format at the end of the course. 6.\n Despite the simple techniques used, students were able to generate and test a variety of hypotheses on ecological interactions (see video at http://www.bio-link.org/home/summer-fellows-forum-2011/mimulus). [...]the course resulted in a source of novel data and hypotheses that are being used by the instructor's research lab to both guide and answer research questions [15],[16].
