This document discusses research informed teaching (RIT) and debunks common myths about it. It defines different types of RIT, such as research-tutored, research-oriented, and research-based teaching. The document argues that RIT is not limited to research-intensive universities and that research-active lecturers do not necessarily provide better RIT. It also challenges the myth that RIT cannot be done with first-year undergraduate students, noting that exposing students to uncertainty and multiple perspectives can help develop more sophisticated thinking. The document concludes that RIT provides benefits to students such as improved self-confidence, independence, grades, and employability skills.
