This project aims to demystify the research process for undergraduates by creating educational materials to enhance their understanding and skills. By addressing gaps in knowledge and clarifying key aspects of research, we developed various resources, including video tutorials, organizational tools, and an online research guide. Feedback from faculty and ongoing student assessments inform the iterative process of resource development. Our goal is to create reusable materials that support diverse learners and improve educational outcomes in research methodologies.
