March 13, 2025Fostering Generative AI Literacy in Economics: A Hands-on Approach (Beck & Brodersen)
April 30, 2025Undergraduate research is a high-impact educational practice. Despite the immense value to students, many instructors have difficulty investing the time and resources needed to engage undergraduates in research. This paper provides materials and a detailed plan for instructors on how to incorporate a research project into their economics course, culminating in a poster project. This approach is widely applicable to various undergraduate and graduate courses. Advantages of posters include reduced costs to instructors for feedback and grading and an opportunity to build a culture of research from a poster event.
