[FUN_Mail] Teaching Credit for Mentoring Undergraduate Research

[Divya Sitaraman via FUN_Mail]

Dear FUN folks,

Our department (Psychological Sciences and Behavioral Neuroscience) at
University of San Diego is trying to come up with a good sustainable model
for awarding teaching credit to faculty who mentor undergraduate research.
I was wondering if your school has such a program in place. If yes I would
love to get the details so that we can present these models to our Dean so
that faculty can get some recognition/appreciation for mentoring
undergraduates in research.

Most of the students who do research enroll for research credits (Psych and
Neur 496) so in a way they pay for these credit hours.

Thanks,
Divya Sitaraman
Assistant Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience
