Independent student research in neuroscience and behavior. The work is supervised by a faculty sponsor who determines direction of the project, reports required, grade and credit awarded. The project may consist of laboratory research, library research, or some combination of the two. Credit is variable (1-6 credits) and independent study may be repeated each semester. May be taken for a letter grade or graded Satisfactory (SAT). A SAT is similar to the undergraduate Pass (P) and is defined as passing for graduate credit.

What do you think of when you hear the word "shark"? Do you conjure an image of a mindless, grey fish with rows upon rows of teeth waiting to swallow you whole? Then this class is for you. Come learn about the wide diversity of sharks and their relatives, from the tiny pocket shark, who sports fashionable, glowing pockets, to the smalltooth sawfish, who has a chainsaw for a nose! We will discuss shark behavior, diet, and life history, as well as their importance in healthy ocean ecosystems. Together we'll use science to turn shark fictions into shark facts!
