Text CUR CREATE method

The C.R.E.A.T.E. (Consider, Read, Elucidate the hypotheses, Analyze and interpret the data, and Think of the next Experiment) method is a teaching approach that uses intensive analysis of primary literature to demystify and humanize research for undergraduates.

Whilst the CREATE method can be customized the main components translate into: 

• Concept map the introduction 
• Cartoon out methods
• Rewrite Figure legends or replot data
• Rewrite abstracts
• Plan out the methods and hypotheses for a follow-up assignment
