Junior Honors

Catalog description

This class consists of mentored literature research, in which students work closely with a faculty member to develop an approach to address a particular question in biology. Each student will produce several drafts of a literature review/research proposal, which frames the questions being addressed by the proposed research and provides a strategy for an experimental approach to address these questions. The research proposal will serve as the basis for subsequent Senior Honors courses (Biol 498 and Biol 499). Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
