Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours. A science writing and critical reasoning course to be taken the quarter prior to participation in the Excellence in Research Program. Students work in a computer laboratory with full access to writing, library, and network resources and prepare and review a formal scientific paper. Prerequisites: two quarters of Biological Sciences 199; satisfaction of the lower-division writing requirement. Enrollment preference given to students who have taken two or more quarters of Biological Sciences 197.
-
2.00 Credits
Students receive formal training in use and assessment of interactive teaching strategies in university- level biology classes. Additional aspects of course design and implementation are covered. Recommended for undergraduates involved in the BioSci Peer Tutoring Program. May be taken for credit two times.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Tutorial, one to four hours. Library research, tutorial, and other independent projects under individual professors. Individualized instruction dealing with conceptual or theoretical problems in the biological sciences, rather than technical problems. Regularly scheduled meetings between student and faculty member and successful completion of a written report. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. An abstract form must be filed in the Biological Sciences Student Affairs Office. May be graded "IP." May be repeated for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Small group experimental laboratory or fieldwork performed under the influence of a faculty member. Prior to beginning group studies, each student must submit an abstract which must be filed in the Biological Sciences Student Affairs Office and renewed yearly, if applicable. A Summary Report must be submitted at the end of each quarter. May be graded In Progress. Prerequisites: Biological Sciences 194S and consent of instructor. May be taken for credit three times.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual experimental laboratory or field research under a professor's direction. Required for participation in the Excellence in Research Program. Further information and a booklet describing many prospective projects are available in the Biological Sciences Student Affairs Office. Prerequisites: Biological Sciences 194S and consent of instructor. An abstract form must be filed in the Biological Sciences Student Affairs Office. May be repeated for credit as topics vary.
-
1.00 Credits
Seminar. Contemporary research problems in biological sciences. Participating students and faculty present their research findings as well as examine and discuss research in related fields. Writing instruction for participation in Excellence in Research takes place during required workshops in the fall quarter. Limited to students in the Biological Sciences Honors Program.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Mechanisms of gene expression; special emphasis on regulatory events that occur in Eukaryotic organisms other than initiation of transcription.
