Literature Research in Biology
Researching and interpreting the literature in regards to a scientific question is the first step in a research project. In this course, students will study a research question with a faculty supervisor through a research literature review. Students will gain experience in writing for a scientific and non-scientific audience, concluding with a literature review and oral presentation. Before beginning, students must obtain a supervisor and submit an outline of the project for approval by the Head of the Department.
