REU Site--Psychology and Law: Research Experiences for Undergraduates at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

这个REU网站更新应用程序是一个非常好的结构程序，既有个人研究项目的元素，又为学生开发一个合作研究环境。这是内布拉斯加大学林肯分校2004年和2007年夏天成功的REU。他们把来自中西部的学生聚集在一起，围绕心理学和法律这一共同主题进行研究培训，这些学生在大学里住一整年，目的是为那些已经知道自己想读研究生（入学要求）的代表性不足的群体的成员增加研究生学习的准备，而不仅仅是激发学生对研究生的潜在兴趣。监测、评估和长期跟踪程序非常出色，包括量化学习。宣传REU头三年的有效性的计划是另一个有价值的更广泛的影响。

This REU site renewal application is a very well structured program with both the elements of individual research projects and those that develop a collaborative research environment for students.This has been a successful REU at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for the summers of 2004 and 2007. They have brought students together from the Midwest for research training around the common theme of psychology and the law.This students take a full year in residence at the university.The goal is to increase preparation for graduate study of members of underrepresented groups who already know they want to go to graduate school (a requirement of admission) rather than just stimulating students' potential interest in graduate school. Monitoring, evaluation, and long-term tracking procedures are excellent, with quantification of learning included. Plans to disseminate the effectiveness of the first three years of the REU is another valuable broader impact.
