Written by Martin Luck (University of Nottingham) this guide is the third in the Teaching Bioscience: Enhancing Learning series published by the Centre.

The book follows the series format of theory augmented with bioscience case studies. In the first three chapters Martin explores the value of student research in the biosciences, ways of implementing research projects for final year students, and project outcomes and assessment. The second section of the book features ten bioscience case studies which cover a range of formats of research project: conventional laboratory or field studies, group projects and a diversity of alternative forms involving data-mining and analysis, and commercial, communication and education-based investigations.

The associated pages on this website present a number of additional case studies drawn from across the biosciences, together with related information, resources and links on the topic of undergraduate research.
