This second survey repeated several of the questions from the pre-experience survey, which allowed us to compare students’ expectations with their experiences,and look for changes in students’ self-assessments of research skills over the 10-week program.Students were also asked about their interactions with their research mentors and the personaland professional outcomes of their summer experience. Appendix B includes a copy of the post-experience survey questions.About 160

Unlike the earliermicroteaching sessions, the TAs may have the opportunity to win a small prize (i.e., $5 giftcertificate) for the TA who incorporates active learning into their lesson most effectively. Sincethere are many active learning teaching strategies, for the purpose of this TA training,participants are asked to select one of six active learning teaching methods for their lessons: (1)the minute paper, (2) think-pair-share, (3) brainstorming, (4) case studies, (5) inquiry learning,and (6) cooperative groups (See Appendix B for
