Research
- When the word "research" is mentioned often it conjures up images of test tubes and lab coats. While formal lab research is important, it is hardly the only important aspect of undergraduate research in the broader sense.
- Lab or field experiments are more recognizable as research practices, and scholarship of writing takes into account both reporting of research findings or new perspectives on existing research.
