Title: Lessons on leveraging large enrollment courses to screen studies for systematic reviews
Abstract: Here I describe eight semesters of experimentation with various abstract screening tools, including R, HTML, CANVAS, and Adobe, with the aims to (1) improve science literacy among undergraduate students, and (2) leverage large enrollment courses to process and code vast amounts of bibliographic information for systematic reviews. I then discuss the promise of undergraduate participation for screening and classification, but emphase (1) consistent failures of tools, in terms of student accessibility and ability to combine and compare student screening decisions, and (2) my consistent inability to get consistent, high-quality screening outcomes from students.
