| Description |
Students will identify a problem, complete a literature review of that topic, and design an experiment in the area of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. This will include developing a question, conducting a literature search using current databases and techniques, develop an appropriate bibliography, examine ethical issues in research, understand plagiarism, and learn how to effectively communicate their research design through writing and presenting a research proposal. Research proposals will focus on an area of research that the student will pursue, in consultation with a faculty mentor, during Biol 479 Advanced Research. |
