Undergraduate Journal Club as an Intervention to Improve Student Development in Applying the Scientific Process

by: Conner I. Sandefur and Claire Gordy

Students were surveyed before and after participating in the club about their confidence in accessing, analyzing, and reporting scientific research. Post-club, the students reported increases in confidence in their abilities to access and present scientific articles and write scientific abstracts.
