Cooperative and Experiential Education

. IntroductionThis evidence-based paper assesses strategies for Research Experience for Undergraduates(REU) social program success. REU programs typically bring together students from across thecountry – or even around the world – to a university campus for the summer. While at thisuniversity, the students learn how to conduct real research in their discipline by actually doing it,under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Giving students exposure to conducting bona fideresearch allows them to determine whether they may be interested in pursuing a research career(and, to support this, continuing on to graduate-level education).Many students who participate in REU programs remember these programs long after theprogram is complete. The initial experience

Second, starting in summer 2013, students are now provided with four careerbroadening programs that are informed by student survey results in 2012. These programs aremade possible through a partnership among AFIT, the LEADER (Launching Equity in theAcademy across the Dayton Entrepreneurial Region) Consortium, and the Southwestern OhioConsortium for Higher Education (SOCHE).

It can be due to increase of using collaborations in the classes. Several studies haveidentified variations in rates of cheating among students within different majors. With generalagreement among these studies that higher percentages of business and engineering studentsengage in cheating which are 91% and 82% respectively compared to students in the social andnatural sciences which are 73% and 71% respectively (McCabe, 1997, Mattei, 2008).

While much research has been devoted to theexperiences of gender and ethnic minorities [1]–[3], the experiences of English as SecondLanguage (ESL) students in graduate school has been poorly explored. The challenges of ESLstudents often interplay with those of gender and ethnic minorities because their identities areintersectional with such characteristics.
