Helping students understand these foundational theoretical conceptscan sometimes be difficult, and it is not uncommon for students to "get lost" in the details andfail to understand the main concepts. One way to help overcome this problem is to use labora-tory classes. Laboratory classes provide students with hands-on learning experiences that helpthem connect theory and practice. One way

Researchers, for the most part, have thefundamentals of this workflow in mind, but do not necessarily have it explicitly outlined. This isparticularly critical as scientific researchers often rely on graduate students and/or post-docs forday-to-day management of laboratory studies and data recordkeeping.
