More Professors Say Undergraduates Need to Hone Research Abilities
More Professors Say Undergraduates Need to Hone Research Abilities, Survey Finds. Chronicle of Higher Education, April 4, 2016.
Summary: This latest edition of a survey that is conducted every three years found an uptick in faculty members who believe undergraduate students are arriving at college with inadequate research skills. Many faculty members believe their institution’s library plays a critical role in helping students develop those skills. Scholars increasingly see it as their responsibility to support their undergraduate students, with an emphasis on competencies and learning outcomes.
