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.

This seminar is designed to help international students who have never studied in the USA make a successful start at the university in the College of Natural Sciences. We will review campus resources and opportunities, give students the chance to ask lots of questions, and help students integrate into campus life. Undergraduate teaching assistants will mentor students and assist with the transition to the university.

A research experience for incoming first-year students, who will work on a project directly related to a faculty member's research. Participants will be integrated into the faculty research group and participate in regular group meetings and one-on-one meetings with senior mentors. Students will study relevant prior published work, write a background and proposal paper and a final report in the form of a journal article. Participants will receive appropriate training in safety, and good laboratory practice including how to record experimental results.
