3.00 Credits
Aquatic research methods using SCUBA as a research tool. Students will experience various research methods that are best completed with the use of SCUBA equipment. Prerequisites: Biology 111 (General Zoology) and basic SCUBA certification. As needed, summer only.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of probability and statistics with application to biological research. Statistics tools are used to investigate and understand the biological parameters with their inherent variability. Students will utilize statistical theory and methods to develop the framework for understanding variation, and distinguishing random from non-random events. Three lectures and one laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 111 Lecture and Lab. As needed.
-
3.00 Credits
An opportunity for completing ecological field studies in an area other than the region around Saint Francis University. Students will research the ecology of the field site, study the animals and plants present in the ecosystem and plan their travel before leaving on a 7-9 day research trip. Studies will be completed on site. Upon completion of the trip, students will write a research paper and formally present their findings. Course can be completed twice for credit when completed at different locations. Students will incur an additional expense to cover field costs. Prerequisite: Biology 203,. Spring, Summer.
