Workshops
What sets them apart?
CERIC workshops ignite engagement with scientific literature through explicit instruction in the principles of scientific argumentation, interactive learning, low-stakes discussion, and peer collaboration. We offer them online and in person.
Why adopt the CERIC Method?
The CERIC Method gives your students and group a proven framework for critically reading and evaluating scientific literature, helping them develop a challenging skillset with an evidence-based approach. Many in our community recognize that improvement in critical reading leads to more effective argument-based writing, including proposals and literature reviews.
Achieve exceptional
results with Interactive Learning
Students today are completing fewer assigned readings, in part, because constant digital overload and a lack of instruction in critical reading make dense research articles feel inaccessible. Most students are never explicitly taught how to evaluate an argument from evidence, leaving them overwhelmed and feeling like a fraud.
CERIC offers a clear and structured way forward. It provides an evidence‑based framework that helps students strategically dissect research papers, focus their attention, and apply structured and active reading techniques. What once felt daunting becomes engaging, guided, and achievable.
Why Workshops?
Explicit and Interactive Reading instruction
Increase learning:
18% Increased Reading Comprehension
The average increase among doctoral students in various fields after four weeks of practice with the CERIC Method plus SCA (Bjorn, 2024).
15% Increased Research Self-Efficacy
Having confidence and knowing when to stop reading for research is as important as knowing how to start.
10% Lower Reading Anxiety
A false assumption is that reading anxiety doesn’t exist in higher education; it does. Knowing what to expect and making reading explicit reduces worry.
