Biological Sciences 395 - Independent Study

In this class, students will acquire hands-on experience in diverse aspects of the research process in a field of Biology, from familiarizing themselves with a research topic, generating interesting questions, designing experiments, acquiring technical skills, collecting and analyzing data, to writing and/or presenting their results. Spots are limited. Interested students should submit the departmental research application, which typically opens each semester ahead of the academic advising period. Faculty review applications after the deadline and inform students prior to the start of the following semester. A single credit requires an average of 3 hours of work per week. (Note: Some faculty may require a set weekly meeting time for a portion of this class.)
