Douglas Kankel. htba (0) Individual or small-group study for qualified students who wish to investigate a broad area of experimental biology not presently covered by regular courses. A student must be sponsored by a Yale faculty member, who sets the requirements. The course must include one or more written examinations and/or a term paper. This is intended to be a supplementary course and, therefore, to have weekly or biweekly discussion meetings between the student and the sponsoring faculty member. To register, the student must prepare a form, available in the office of the director of undergraduate studies, and a written plan of study with bibliography, approved by the adviser. The form and proposal must be uploaded to the Classes server or submitted to the course instructor in 754 kbt by Friday, September 11, for the fall term and Tuesday, January 19, for the spring term. The final paper is due in the hands of the sponsoring faculty member, with a copy to the course instructor, by the beginning of reading period. In special cases, with approval of the director of undergraduate studies, this course may be elected for more than one term, but only one term will count as an elective for the major. One term of this course fulfills the senior requirement if taken in the senior year. Additional sections offered in Beijing, China, under the supervision ofiXing-Wang Deng. See under Peking University-Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program. mcdb 475a or b, Research. MarkMooseker. htba (0) Research projects under faculty supervision, ordinarily taken to fulfill the senior requirement. This course may be taken before the senior year, but it cannot substitute for other requirements. Students are expected to spend approximately ten hours per week in the laboratory, and to make presentations to students and advisers at monthly section meetings. At the beginning of the term the student must submit a written proposal of research approved by the Yale faculty sponsor and the instructor in charge of the course. A final research report is required before a grade is given. Students who take this course more than once must reapply each term; students planning to conduct two terms of research should consider enrolling in mcdb 485a, 486b. Students should line up a research laboratory during the term preceding the research. Guidelines for the course should be obtained from the office of the director of undergraduate studies or downloaded from the Classes server. Written proposals are due Friday, September 11, for the fall term and Tuesday, January 19, for the spring term. One term of this course fulfills the senior requirement if taken in the senior year. Additional sections offered in Beijing, China, under the supervision of Xing-Wang Deng. See under Peking University ? CYale University Joint Undergraduate Program.

Mark Mooseker. htba (0) Individual two-term laboratory research projects under the supervision of a faculty member. Students are expected to spend ten to twelve hours per week in the laboratory, and to make presentations to students and advisers at monthly discussion groups. Written assignments include a research proposal, due at the beginning of the first term, and a research report that summarizes experimental results, due at the end of the second term. Students should line up a research laboratory during the term preceding the research. Guidelines for the course should be obtained from the office of the director of undergraduate studies or downloaded from the Classes server. Written proposals are due Friday, September 11, 2009. Credit only on completion of both terms. Fulfills the senior requirement if taken in the senior year. mcdb 495a and 496b, Intensive Research in Biology. MarkMooseker. htba 2 C Credits per term (0) Qualified students may undertake directed research in some field of biology during the senior year. Before registering for this course, the student must be accepted for a research project by a Yale faculty member with a research program in experimental biology and obtain the approval of the instructor in charge of the course. Students spend approximately twenty hours per week in the laboratory, and make written and oral presentations of their research to students and advisers. Guidelines for the course are covered in detail in an information sheet that students should obtain from the office of the director of undergraduate studies early in the final term of the junior year. A written proposal must be submitted by Friday, September 11, 2009. Credit only on completion of both terms. Fulfills the senior requirement if taken in the senior year. beng 100b, Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering.
