Design and Development of Scientific Proposals

Graduate

This graduate seminar and practicum focuses on design and development of research proposals in Ecology, Evolution, Environment, and Society. Emphasis is placed on the formulation and design of testable scientific ideas and the development of these ideas into feasible projects. Each student is responsible for the development and execution of a realistic research proposal (typically following NSF proposal format). Students provide critical evaluation of each other's ideas and written work throughout the course.
