对本科生研究经历的好处的描述来自于对2000年夏末在四所参与的文科学院(格林内尔学院、哈维·穆德学院、霍普学院和韦尔斯利学院)收集的76次第一轮学生访谈的分析。作为面试协议的一部分，学生们对从文献中获得的可能好处的核对表进行评论。他们还增加了不在这份清单上的收益。学生们绝大多数都是积极的：91%的陈述提到了他们的经历所带来的收获。对他们的研究经验几乎没有提供负面的、矛盾的或有保留的评估。所描述的益处有七种。以所有报告收益的百分比表示，它们是：个人/专业收益(28%)；“像科学家一样思考和工作”(28%)；各种技能的收益(19%)；澄清/确认职业计划(包括研究生院)(12%)；加强职业/研究生院的准备(9%)；对作为研究人员的学习和工作态度的转变(4%)；以及其他福利(1%)。(C)2004年威利期刊公司。
Descriptions of student-identified benefits of undergraduate research experiences are drawn from analysis of 76 first-round student interviews gathered at the end of summer 2000 at four participating liberal arts colleges (Grinnell, Harvey Mudd, Hope, and Wellesley). As part of the interview protocol, students commented on a checklist of possible benefits derived from the literature. They also added gains that were not on this list. Students were overwhelmingly positive: 91% of all statements referenced gains from their experiences. Few negative, ambivalent, or qualified assessments of their research experiences were offered. The benefits described were of seven different kinds. Expressed as percentages of all reported gains, they were personal/professional gains (28%); "thinking and working like a scientist" (28%); gains in various skills (19%); clarification/confirmation of career plans (including graduate school) (12%); enhanced career/graduate school preparation (9%); shifts in attitudes to learning and working as a researcher (4%); and other benefits (1%).
