Undergraduate science learning involves lectures, labs and coursework. Engaging in authentic research can also be a valuable part of the undergraduate experience. But what IS research and how does it factor into the overall learning experience?
This seminar, designed for Provost's Undergraduate Research Fellows enrolled in the College of Natural Sciences, will explore research thinking namely:
-The world of research - a 30 thousand foot few of research
-The nature of research - what is Research like. Failure and success

We are exposed to a considerable amount of scientific material through popular culture in the television and movies we watch and news media sources but how much of this scientific content is accurate? Critical thinking as well as hypothesis formulation and testing through scientific methods are key factors for solid research and scientific ethics. The course will provide an introduction to the scientific method, hypothesis formulation and laboratory testing. Student will discuss science presented in videos from popular culture televisions series and movies.

Course taught in French. France and Canada are key producers of video games whose content can be played in French, even if their titles are systematically in English.
