Lab Research

Undergraduate / Graduate

Students participating in one of the Undergraduate Research Labs (Black Studies, Contemporary Literary Publishing, and Environmental Humanities) can register for this course to receive credit as an ENGL elective for their participation. While students will register for the 100 unit course in just one quarter of the year of their participation, the course is meant to reflect their engagement with the Lab throughout the academic year. Final Grades and credit will be given in Spring quarter by the faculty supervisor. Additionally, students who take on a leadership role in the Lab will receive an official transcript notation as the "English Department Research Lab Leader." To register, students should first submit to the Student Affairs Administrator a 1-2 paragraph statement briefly outlining their interest in a specific lab, mentioning specific projects within the lab and ideas to implement into research projects, events, or other endeavors. The final grade will be based on cumulative participation and a portfolio of the year's work. For more information on requirements and expectations, please consult the English Department website.
