Mentorship is especially important at institutionsthat have an increasing demand for faculty scholarship. The new untenured faculty must alsolearn and balance teaching and service responsibilities. In addition to essential mentoring ofuntenured faculty by senior faculty, untenured faculty can also benefit from peer mentoring byother untenured faculty.

Writing review articles is, however, primarily an exercise inaccumulating and organizing knowledge.Often a different approach is taken with graduate students, where the goal is to emphasizeanalysis and synthesis rather than knowledge. For example, the analysis of raw experimental datahas been used as a case-based approach to enforcing higher-order cognitive skills 3. Thisapproach may not be appropriate, however, for many undergraduate classes. Further, thisapproach was not designed to teach the basics of researching the technical literature, writing in atechnical style, or of engaging in peer review; these are often
