At the Institute from June 1-5, 2009, faculty will discuss a range of topics related to developing effective undergraduate research-based assignments. They will also collaborate with consultants from the University Library, the Center for Teaching Excellence, Academic Technology Services and User Support, the Cornell IT Policy Office, and the Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines , to create or redesign assignments which use the Library's resources from archival materials to article databases and introduce undergraduates to the practice of scholarly research. After the Institute, faculty will continue to work with these academic partners to develop and refine their courses and assignments throughout the year.
