Retention at colleges and universities is important forschools as well as society3. Indeed, it is more cost effective to retain current students than torecruit new ones4.

Concluding RemarksOne issue which must be addressed when adding a laboratory experience to any class is how tooptimize the student experience compared to the student and faculty effort required. Forexample, if students are asked to only reproduce pre-defined and pre-tested experiments, therewill be less effort required on everyone’s part but the student will miss out on the experience ofdesigning a unique experiment and learning about all the details required to make it work.Students often learn more when they design and conduct an experiment from scratch
