Independent Study

Catalog description

Advanced students (usually seniors) are encouraged to pursue independent research in some specific area or problem where extensive reference to biological literature on that subject is available. Also encouraged is the design and execution of original research, either in the laboratory or field, that bears on the problem being considered. Prior to being admitted to this course, the student must submit an acceptable written proposal of the area or problem to be studied to the faculty member (selected by the student) who supervises the effort. Students must have consent of instructor and completed permission forms to register. Fall, Spring, Summer.
