BIO 4493 - Senior Seminar

Credits: 4
An alternative Capstone project for senior Biology majors who have not completed a laboratory or clinically based research project. The course will explore the process of doing research in biology. This would include experimental design, reagent selection, budgeting, analysis of results, and use of appropriate statistics. The second half of the course will focus on the students writing a grant proposal either on a particular topic using a standard NIH or NSF format. It will culminate in an oral defense of the proposal before several members of the Biology faculty.
