Princeton University officials said the posting of the paper, "Reading Between the Lines: Lessons From the S.D.M.I.
During labs 5 7, students in the experimental sections performed SUR parts 2 4 in addition to condensed versions of traditional lab exercises (Paper Reading, Fermentation and Respiration, Photosynthesis).
At the 4-yr institution, students in the experimental sections performed both SUR parts 2 and 4 and shortened versions of the corresponding traditional labs (Paper Reading, Fermentation and Respiration, Photosynthesis) and rated each separately.
Write down important dates such as exams, finals, papers, readings, club meetings, etc. Highlight exams with one color, papers in another, and so on.
By definition it's a fractured fairy-tale, completely adult, a sophisticated story full of irony and satire and parody and things that could go over the heads of kids, though my feeling was, and why I went with it, that kids are so sophisticated these days.'

Therefore, prior experience with the template was sufficient to induce a significant and measurable shift in students' paper-reading habits.
To determine whether Figure Facts was associated with increased student attention to data interpretation, we performed a time-on-task assessment in which students documented their paper-reading activities before and after exposure to Figure Facts.
First, to determine whether Figure Facts increases students' attention to data figures, we performed a time-on-task assessment, in which students documented their paper-reading activities before and after intervention with Figure Facts.
While we were able to identify a number of variables that impacted paper quiz scores, one of the strongest conclusions was that exposure to this module increased paper-reading comprehension and analysis in subsequent lab courses (as measured by higher scores on questions of various Bloom's levels), demonstrating a longitudinal benefit rarely documented in STEM education studies.
