Fellow Responsibilities

 

• Mentor undergraduates to properly conduct research and help students find ways to bring their own knowledge, skills, and talents to interdisciplinary and collaborative work.
• Be able to articulate advice and experiences that are easily understood by your team members and be an active listener who helps your students find solutions on their own.
• Ensure that field work is a key part of your team's research project. At minimum, conduct a study site visit early in the semester.
• Emphasize data analysis – quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods – as part of the research project.
• Get students involved in their own training. For example, have students instruct their peers on topics or skills learned from their major that are relevant to the team's effort.
• Help students prepare a professional oral presentation, written report or research manuscript, and poster appropriate for an professional academic conference.
• Provide constructive feedback on student work and grade all assignments submitted by team members in a timely manner.
• Attend scheduled class meetings and lead small groups discussions about NRES Seminar presentations and special training classes.
