Template for research log that I use with my research students. Template contains definition of new commands in TeX for goals, log entries, meeting notes, and reflections. I have students maintain this file in a shared folder while they are doing research. My research students are expected to make goals for each week, a log entry for each day they work on their research project, and a reflection entry at the end of each week.

We developed these team member evaluations for a summer research program where we had teams of mathematicians and biologists.  I'm not sure they were that useful after the research was done, but it might be more useful as a way to discuss what we expect from our team members.

Reading questions for students to consider/answer as they read through math modeling papers. This document is constructed with the idea that a student will read the paper (or portions of the paper) in several passes. The grouping of the questions in Step 1, Step 2, etc., break the questions down into what students might consider in a first pass, a second pass, etc. with an eye towards the student developing a rubric for what makes a well written math modeling paper.

A good article to have research students read when they start doing research with you.

These notes are based on instructions on team preparation and roles assignment from the Mathematical Contest in Modeling. (Source: Blerta Shtylla.)

An article in the Notices by Kathryn Leonard (then at Cal State Channel Islands) where she reflects on her undergraduate research experience.  Includes good tips and links to other resources.

This form is filled by each student to evaluate each team member's contribution (including themself's) to the research project. (Source: Blerta Shtylla & Erin Bodine.)

We summarize guidelines on how to decide on whether a student or a collaborator gets authorship. 

This file is designed to help faculty and team members set up expectations for the research project. This includes topics such as research goals, hours of work, timeline of deliverables, etc.
