Faculty have access to royalty-free, copyright cleared images at no charge. These images are cleared to be used for distributed education, print handouts, posting online, course handouts etc…. Please note this service is free for teaching UGME purposes only. Images for other purposes are at cost."

Sample topics include:
- Forming a research question
