Research Experience in Biology

Catalog description

Research Experience in Biology is aimed at providing an introductory research experience in a biology faculty laboratory. Through this experience the student will gain an understanding of how research is conducted outside of a classroom and how the scientific method is actively applied in the specific discipline of the faculty research interests. Students will become part of the research team and will participate in laboratory or field activities as well as meetings/discussions. This course can be repeated for a maximum of 2 credits, the second of which must be under a different faculty member and thus a different discipline in Biology. This course can also be taken as zero-credit during the summer to maintain enrollment for compliance. This course is recommended to be taken before BIOL 4304 : Research Projects in Biology.
