Theseresults give us some confidence that the case-based approach to teaching and learning aboutreading academic papers has merit.1 IntroductionLearning to read an academic paper is not a formally taught subject, but is an essential skillneeded by senior undergraduates and graduate students as they arrive at the edges of curatedtextbooks and human knowledge, and begin to explore new ideas on the cutting-edge based onresearch and development. For those of us who continue in our respective fields and want tocontribute with our own peer-reviewed academic papers, the skill of reading papers is necessary,but the approaches to teaching students how to read academic papers mainly use ad-hocexperiential learning

In Week 4, students complete experiments that take the entire lab time(Bomb Calorimeter, Conduction through a Tapered Rod, and Major/Minor Losses) and require amore traditional lab write-up. The following week they do peer review on their write-ups withsubmissions due the following week.

RuralArkansas has experienced economic hardships that have severely limited STEM education-relatedresources for K-12 students as school systems in these areas have continued to struggle financially[3]. Data have also shown that students from rural areas receive limited exposure to academicenrichment programs. This can lead to lower levels of confidence as well as the belief that theyare not prepared to be successful in STEM programs [4]-[11].

Student engagement within theclassroom setting and with peers is also facilitated by the flipped class model [23].

The distribution ofcriticisms of active learning techniques are adopted as identifying elements of their practice inthe corresponding three categories: ‘Increased Interaction’, ‘Increased Responsibility’ and‘Decreased Expertise’. Decreased expertise in this context involves removal of the professor asthe primary authority for information as presented from the peer-directed activity; their peers areviewed as having decreased expertise compared to the knowledge of the instructor.

As the interns were all physically isolated from their peers, mentors, and facultyhosts, the administrative team sought to ensure interns felt well supported and as connected aspossible. However, they acknowledged that interns would not be able to spend excessive time onvideo calls, due to risk of zoom fatigue or boredom [9].Twelve faculty hosts unfortunately
