-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prereq. Departmental consent - The student applies her analytic and problem-solving abilities in researching a specific problem in an industrial, health-related, or other appropriate facility off campus.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prereq. Senior standing and two 300-level BI courses - The student addresses the question, "What does it mean to be a biologist or a chemist in the 21st century?" She does this in readings and discussions on the philosophy of science, independent research on one aspect of the question, and oral and written presentations of her research.
-
2.00 Credits
Prereq. CLD 101 or PSY 101 or SSC 101 - In this interdisciplinary course, the student is introduced to the underlying assumptions and theories of small group research and behavior, and their applications to social psychology. In addition, she has the opportunity to learn and improve her interaction skills, using both interpersonal and task-oriented models, as well as developing the ability to analyze her own and others' behavior.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq. BSC 215; CM 156Q; CLD 101 or PSY 101 or SSC 101; Communication Level 2:Writing - The student learns about the research methods commonly used by behavioral scientists. She participates in a number of classroom exercises to acquaint her with philosophical and methodological issues related to a variety of behavioral science methods. She also conducts a survey research project in which she defines the problem to be addressed, formulates questions and hypotheses, and designs a research instrument. She collects and analyzes data using SPSS computer software. She prepares a final report, using appropriate summary statistics, tables, and graphics.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq. BSC 255; CM 156Q - The student develops skill communicating statistical information using SPSS computer software. She learns both theory and applications of statistical hypothesis testing, learning to test for the significance of relationships between variables and differences between groups in a variety of situations. She learns bivariate descriptive statistics. She learns to clearly and accurately communicate findings and to accurately interpret the presentation of statistical findings encountered in research.
-
4.00 Credits
- This course, which is designed for nursing majors, introduces the student to basic research issues in the health sciences. The student practices conducting and interpreting data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics, learns to convey the results of analyses clearly to others, and learns to recognize common fallacies in arguments about science.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq. BSC 255; BSC 256; one 300-level course in CLD, POL, PSY, or SOC - The student participates in an applied research project undertaken in conjunction with a community agency or group. She participates in every phase of the project, including definition of the research problem, construction of the research design and data-gathering instruments, data collection and analysis, and preparation of the final report.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq. SC 119 - The student analyzes the structures of organic and biological molecules. She learns to interpret the physical and chemical properties of these molecules, explaining observed properties in relation to a molecule's shape and electronic nature. She also investigates the thermodynamic and kinetic basis of chemical transformation with particular emphasis on enzymes and metabolic pathways. In the laboratory, she examines some of the molecules, properties, and reactions discussed in class. She also conducts two or more independent experiments in which she modifies the design of an experiment to answer a question she raises.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq. SC 120 and, beginning fall 2009, CH 113 - The student learns to interpret and predict physical and chemical properties of organic species using a variety of chemical principles and models, and designs experiments to investigate her predictions. In the laboratory, she practices basic organic chemistry lab techniques, with an emphasis on understanding underlying principles of interparticle forces. The student gains practice in synthesis, isolation, purification, and characterization of organic species.
-
3.00 Credits
- See BI 228.
