Research

Catalog description

This experiential course provides the opportunity to familiarize students with basic principles of research design, data collection, data analysis, and hypothesis testing. In consultation with a faculty mentor, the student selects a research project and begins the preliminary activities associated with developing a research question to include searching the literature, participation in grant, IRB and animal control protocols, procedure writing and training in research techniques. Experimentation and data collection may begin as time permits. Students are required to meet with their faculty mentor on a regular basis during the semester.
