“…Dekhane and Price [6], for example, present a capstone software development course that requires students to read a research paper, to find supporting research literature, and to write up a summary. Erkan and Barr [8] discuss their capstone course aiming to integrate the teachings of all previous courses by discussing research papers and making explicit how those papers used what the students have already learned. Neither course appears to provide much scaffolding for students in their reading of papers.…”

The skill to read research literature critically belongs in every university graduate's toolbox. I have attempted to teach this skill in a master's degree level course in programming languages over 15 years using, at various times, simulated conferences, voluntary reading exercises, evidence-based practice training, and a flipped classroom with mandatory reading assignments. I discuss my experience and analyze preliminary qualitative data on the use of evidence-based practice and a flipped classroom for this purpose. I present no firm conclusions, but expect that future work (by me or others) will be able to use my experience as a baseline for better teaching of research literature reading.
