Inaddition, graduate students involved in the project are expected to monitor each student’sperformance and progress in the laboratory setting. Ideally, concerns are addressed early, and thestudent is mentored to overcome weaknesses or deficiencies in regards to research. The facultymentor is expected to provide constructive criticism to the students to help them gain the mostfrom the summer program.Assessment:The program was assessed in a number of ways.

Not only the teachers at schoolbut the first teachers a child has in their life - parents. He stated that “Children are usually nottaught to think critically by their parents, by their kindergarten teacher, by any teachers. Mostlikely, the majority of their teachers are not critical thinkers.” After several decades, we still face the same issue in our classrooms - how to teach ourstudents to be critical thinkers.
