1.00 Credits
This is an introductory laboratory methods course which develops student skills in notebook journaling, experimental design, problem solving, and biotechniques. The students will learn to determine protein concentrations using protein concentration curves, separate and determine MW of proteins using the SDSPAGE and also measure enzyme activity. Students will learn to do calculations to make solutions, use balances and pH meters and also become proficient in the use of spectrophotometers and centrifuges. The course is one unit, meets for a three-hour time period once per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 111, 111L, 112, 112L, 113, 113L
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course builds in information presented in Tools and Methods I. In addition to the laboratory skills developed in BIOL 221, particular interest is given to techniques and concepts in microbiology and molecular biology. Students will learn the Gram stain method, bacterial transformation, DNA electrophoresis, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and aseptic techniques for performing transfers in microbiology and molecular biology. Students will also be introduced to the principles of the scientific method and experimental design. The course is one unit, meets for a three-hour time period once per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 111, 111L, 112, 112L, 113, 113L, 221.

1.00 Credits
This course instructs students in methods of scientific study. Initially, students are presented with a number of different approaches which will be discussed by faculty to study particular phenomena; students will develop hypotheses and then take measurements to test their hypothesis. The use of appropriate controlled variables and methods of graphical presentation will be discussed. A brief introduction to statistical methods will be included so that appropriate methods and sample sizes can be proposed. Students will then be guided in the development of a hypothesis-based research proposal, do a literature search then write and present a research proposal. The course is one unit and meets for a three-hour time period once a week. Prerequisite: BIOL 111, 111L, 112, 112L, 113, 113L, 221, 222.
