In this student-centered project-based course, students will design their own animal behavior investigation and prepare a web-based presentation, teaching module, or manuscript. At the end of the course, students will improve their understanding of basic concepts in behavioral biology and develop a deep understanding of the scientific literature in their area of inquiry. We will work on skills that promote supportive research environments, and explore inclusive approaches to science communication.
Prereq: 8 credits of 200-level work from Biological Sciences.
Limited to juniors and seniors in the first week of pre-registration. Remaining seats will open to others in the second week of pre-registration.
