BIO-502 Research

Prerequisite: BIO-222 and instructor permission
A project involving original and relatively independent research. Working with a faculty sponsor, the student poses a question of biological significance, writes an agreement specifying work expectations, devises the experimental protocol, and collects data to evaluate the question. Laboratory or field projects may be performed either on campus or at other locations. A research paper and oral presentation of the topic are required upon completion of the project with the oral presentation usually done in the context of BIO-075. Variable credit.
