distributed assessment provided true “academic” benefits or whether it simply actedas a mechanism to encourage students to remain current with the course’s subject matter.IntroductionTeaching innovations such as the flipped classroom and the studio format are a result ofinstructors seeking methods to improve their ability to teach. The literature generally agrees onthe overall improvement in student achievement provided by these approaches, despite havingthe benefits being downplayed by published results that are largely based on heuristicobservations and qualitative surveys rather than empirical validation with quantitative data5.While the flipped classroom does seem to have many advantages, it also contains issues that mayactually hinder student

Thestudents believed there was no reason to pursue a Ph.D. unless one wanted to become a professor.The authors strongly believe in undergraduate research opportunities and have severalundergraduates working in their labs. While these research interactions have proven valuable forboth the faculty and the students, the authors felt like it would be good to expose undergraduateswith interest in research to additional mentors beyond university faculty.

is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and seniors’ assessments of their collective team’s professionalskills differ?RQ 2: Do sophomores show
