part of the course, students formed groups to lead specific HODA forthe other students. The HODA are peer-to-peer interactions where the roles of specific studentschange between participant and leader throughout the semester. To lead the discovery activitiesin class, the student teams were instructed to follow the five steps shown in Figure 1. In addition,the students developed and agreed to a simple list of rules for participating in all the HODA; theprimary rule is to listen to the leaders and play the game. Each of the five steps is expanded inthe next sections of the paper. Assessment of student learning was primarily through the studentreflections presented in the student written feedback and student leader report

Sites are also required to offer training in research ethics[1]. Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2

Similarly, there is no defined standard for communication of equations,graphics and low-accessibility legacy charts and graphs. Thus, universities currently working withthe visually impaired must develop their own teaching techniques. USC’s AME department began the process of creating accessible content for laboratoryinstruction well in advance of the semester. The goal of this project was to implement accessiblesolutions in the laboratory, which would allow visually impaired students to conduct the same labsas their sighted peers and retain the unique and necessary education that comes from hands-onlearning.b
