MCC CUREs engage students in authentic research experiences in a regularly scheduled laboratory class. They are focused on the enzyme Malate Dehydrogenase, and can be taught from first year to senior year in either a full semester version or a modular format (5-6 weeks) within a semester. MCC CUREs, in addition to conforming with the CURENet definition above, share eight common elements of Research, allowing for OUR pedagogical research efforts to determine key elements of research that contribute to desired student outcomes in a CURE. i) Relevance, ii) Scientific Background, iii) Hypothesis Development, iv) Proposal, v)Experiments, Teamwork, Collaboration, vi)Reproducibility, vii) Data Analysis & Drawing Evidence Based Conclusion and viii) Presentation.
