I agree- we should expect our students to perform at similar levels. Understanding and getting involved in the research process is important at all institutions. I have heard good things from others who teach a first year course with a research component.

Well that URL didn’t work. Try this one. The seminar is the 9th one down on the list. Though some of the others look pretty good too.

Here’s a link to the recording of the web seminar I mentioned during the discussion. The speaker presses the difference between first year students at “research” institutions and those at other schools, but I think our students need the same kind of rigorous introduction to academics as she describes being done at UCSB.
