EvaluateUR-CURE is a method for evaluating course-based undergraduate research experiences -- CUREs. EvaluateUR-CURE is a modification of EvaluateUR, an assessment method developed for independent student research experiences. In common with EvaluateUR, EvaluateUR-CURE has about a dozen student outcome categories, each defined by several outcome components. In order to assess student progress, each component is scored both by the student researcher and his or her faculty mentor using a five-point scale and accompanying rubric. EvaluateUR-CURE is currently in development and the next round of ...
