Self‐rated benefits to development reported by students after the course was completed. A rating of five is the highest gain and one is the lowest gain. The gray circles represent mean ratings of the students in the present study (our course, n = 7). For comparison, we show both the average learning gains reported by other students (similar courses, white triangles) enrolled in classroom research experience and by students who completed a summer laboratory research experience in 2014 and completed the Survey of Undergraduate Research Experiences (typical summer research course, white squares)
