“Edited by Nancy Hensel, a noted scholar and leader in the international undergraduate research movement and a former Executive Officer for the Council on Undergraduate Research, this book provides a timely window onto the rapidly evolving landscape of course-based undergraduate research, particularly in early college settings. This is an essential resource for faculty members who are looking to orient themselves to course-based undergraduate research theory, practice, and assessment.”Elizabeth L. Ambos, Executive OfficerCouncil on Undergraduate Research“This book is an excellent primer for the use of course-based research to expand content knowledge and develop skills required in the 21st century workplace.”Brent Cejda, professor of educational administrationUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln“If you are an educator who believes in the importance of all students engaging in undergraduate research as a way to develop the competencies needed to thrive in an innovation-driven economy, then this book is a must read. Course-based Research provides practical, equitable, and inclusive strategies for making undergraduate research accessible and engaging for every student.”Tia Brown McNair, Vice President, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Student SuccessAssociation of American Colleges and Universities"This collection offers persuasive and ample evidence that undergraduate research opportunities can be embedded in all academic disciplines, in courses as diverse as biology, theater studies, history, and remedial study skills. The benefits are well-documented: richer learning outcomes, enhanced critical reading and thinking skills, deeper engagement, and increased collaboration."Michael J.
