REU programs have operated as a single programacross multiple, geographically dispersed institutions. Multi-campus Sites offer access to abroader network of researchers, exposure to multiple institutions, and immersion in an extendedresearch community working towards common goals. However, operating a Site acrossgeographically distant universities introduces logistical and programmatic challenges that need tobe addressed to ensure a high-quality program.Several examples of multi-campus REU programs appear in the literature (e.g., TheoreticallyInteresting Molecules (TIM) Consortium [4], National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network(NNIN) [5], Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) [6], Rosetta Commons [7],and Engineering

/ methodcomparison of student outcomes and observations on adopting the new method.Based on the results of numerous informal classroom experiments and hundreds of informaldiscussions with students, it was determined that most students do not use effective studystrategies to fully understand key concepts and to master problem solving techniques. Instead,the goal of their current studying and test taking strategies is to “maximize partial credit.” Thesestrategies work as follows. 1. Memorize problems from the homework, in-class examples, or previous exams. 2. Match each problem on the exam to one of the memorized problems that most closely resembles it. 3. Write down the memorized solution, making adjustments along the way so that the solution
