The Students as Scholars initiative encourages faculty and programs to approach teaching research from a developmental and scaffolded perspective. Students are introduced to scholarship in Discovery courses, acquire disciplinary skills in Inquiry courses, and take responsibility for carrying out a scholarly project in Research and Scholarship (RS)-intensive courses.Using OSCAR materials and information from three years of successful RS courses, this poster will demonstrate:Features of RS coursesThe process of applying for an RS designationHow to use a curriculum map to plan their courseDeveloping research assignments beyond the "research paper"Models for incorporating RS (and other Students as Scholars) courses into program curriculaFaculty (from all schools and disciplines) who are poised to apply for RS designation, instructors who are exploring the possibility, professors who want to understand what students are doing in RS courses, and program coordinators who want to see how to incorporate RS courses are all invited to visit this poster.
