-
1.00 Credits
Students collect and analyze data in experiments designed to test the theories presented in lecture. These include studies of distribution patterns, foraging behavior, and population and community structure. Co-requisite: BIOL 4342. (Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
Supervised independent investigation of advanced biology topics utilizing the pertinent literature. Project culminates in a written (and perhaps oral) presentation of results. A minimum of 60 hours of work are required for a semester hour of credit. Prerequisites: Twenty hours of Biology with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, junior or senior standing, and consent of instructor. (Offered on sufficient demand.)
-
1.00 Credits
A rigorous course on scientific methodology and scientific writing. The course includes an overview of research methodology, examination of the procedures for identifying a feasible research project, an introduction to literature searches, and a review of experimental design and hypothesis testing. After identifying a research problem, the student will write a complete paper or research proposal in consultation with a faculty member. Course emphasis is placed on a presentation of the student's work. Prerequisites: MATH 3320, 16 hours of Biology, junior or senior standing. (Fall, Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
@With faculty guidance, a student selects a research question and conducts an independent investigation in order to answer the question. Research projects are divided into modules that can be reasonably completed in one semester. Students are encouraged and facilitated in presentation of their findings at a scientific meeting, and submission of a paper for publication in a scholarly journal. Research areas include behavioral biology, cell and molecular biology, botany, entomology, ecology, neuroscience, immunology and microbiology. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. (Fall, Spring, Summer)
-
1.00 Credits
A seminar presentation based on current research in biological literature and/or the student's own undergraduate research results. The course also requires a written presentation of the seminar, conforming to the CBE Style Manual. Students will be required to take the Biology Achievement Test as part of this course. Prerequisites: MATH 3320, BIOL 4147, senior standing. (Fall, Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed for students in the Teaching Scholar Partnership program. Students assist middle school and/or high school teachers to plan, coordinate, and facilitate hands-on activities in biology. Students commit five hours per week to the project, including a regular training/supervision seminar and on-site school and classroom involvement. Students are required to keep a log of teaching activities at the cooperating school site. Requires a minimum of 60 hours per semester. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing and consent of instructor. (Fall, Spring)
-
2.00 Credits
An internship with a partner institution in a medical, academic, industrial or other setting. Prior approval of both faculty supervisor and cooperating laboratory must be obtained. Sixty working hours required per semester hour of credit. Prerequisite: Twenty hours of Biology, junior or senior standing, and consent of instructor. (Fall, Spring, Summer)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the abundance and distribution of populations and the factors of the environment that affect them. Emphasis will be on mathematical approaches with confirmation by field data. Prerequisites: Fifteen hours of Biology numbered 1307 or above and junior or senior standing. Co-requisite: BIOL 4142. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
In-depth analysis of evolution via natural selection using examples from all major classes of organisms. Emphasis is placed on the mechanism and resulting products of evolutionary change. Evolutionary change is examined at the molecular, organismal, and population levels of organization. Topics such as speciation, extinction, sociality, sexual selection, hominid evolution, biodiversity, and conservation biology are investigated in detail. Prerequisite: BIOL 2334. (Fall, Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
Supervised independent investigation of advanced biology topics utilizing the pertinent literature. Project is culminated with a written (and perhaps oral) presentation of results. Prerequisites: Twenty hours of Biology with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, junior or senior standing, and consent of the instructor. (Offered on sufficient demand.)
