Besides, several online quizzes were developed using a pool of questions related to each topic. Assessments and survey results are used to evaluate the performance of the suggested teaching approach. In addition, students’ micro-lectures are used to improve lifelong learning skills and create an interactive teaching environment with the instructor and other students.

An effective research experience for undergraduate students requires proper definition of a focused research problem, proper training and mentoring. Here we present a summer research program in which we host a selected group of students in a research lab for summer research experience and survey the impact of this experience on their educational outlook. Through a collaboration between a community college focused on education and a 4- year higher education institution offering research opportunities, we have been able to host four undergraduate students from the community college in our research laboratory in

The use of modelsas a form of experience to teach ideas, whether theoretical or design, can serve as a conceptualbridge between life situations which aids creativity, problem solving, decision making, andscientific research (11).The theory put forward by Kolb has been implemented in various ways, with varying degrees ofsuccess. Laboratory education has been found to benefit significantly from the application ofKolb’s cycle, including hands-on activities and pre- and post-lab tests to prepare and consolidatethe knowledge of the students (12).
