Gafney, Leo
Journal of College Science Teaching, v34 n4 p52-56 Jan-Feb 2005
A successful undergraduate research experience depends on a good mentor/ teacher. Surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions reveal that students and their mentors agree that research learning is very different from classroom learning. They do however disagree about some of the dynamics and priorities of the mentoring relationship. (Contains 1 table.)
