BIOL 493/494 - St.Mary's Project in Biology

Institution:

St Mary's College of Maryland

Subject:

Description:

The project, which may take many forms, draws on and extends knowledge, skills of analysis, and creative achievement developed through previous academic work. In consultation with a faculty mentor, the student initiates the project, identifies an area to be explored, and proposes a method of inquiry appropriate to the topic. Although the project may be within this discipline, across disciplines, or in established cross-disciplinary studies programs, students will be responsible for proposing a project that can gain the approval and support of the biology program and faculty. The project should include a reflection on the body of literature, or the conceptual framework to which it is a contribution. It must be shared with the College community through posters, presentations, or other means. This course is repeatable for up to 8 semester-hours and fulfills four of the sixteen semester-hours of upper-division biology courses required to earn a degree in biology. Prerequisite: Approval of faculty mentor Majors, Minors, Other Programs of Study, Course Descriptions and department chair of the student's major(s). Consult faculty mentor for project guidelines.
