The tips and resources provided in this feature have been compiled over the past year based on UROP staff experiences and discussions during our Facilitating Effective Research (FER) series hosted in collaboration with Dr. Janet Rankin, Associate Director of MIT’s Teaching and Learning Laboratory.
Facilitating Effective Research (FER) is a multi-faceted program to help graduate students and others who work with UROP students become more effective research mentors. The sessions are offered on a quarterly basis and information on academic year 2008-2009 sessions will be announced in September.
While these tips and resources are by no means exhaustive, we hope that they will assist you and your lab as you work with your UROP students. We also plan to augment these resources as we continue to offer the FER sessions and welcome any additional tips or feedback to help us improve these resources and/or make them more accessible to others who serve as research mentors.
