BSCI 5080 DBS RESEARCH ROTATION
Students participate in a minimum of two fall and up to five total research experiences in different laboratory settings. Choice of laboratories is determined by the student, although advice from faculty is available. The goals of these laboratory rotations are to broaden exposure to experimental biology, to sharpen laboratory skills, and to facilitate the choice of an area for dissertation research. The student is expected to maintain a proper laboratory notebook; to participate actively in the design, conduct, and interpretation of experiments; and to provide a written or oral summary of the rotation experience. Each rotation is evaluated in writing by the faculty preceptor, and the course is graded pass or fail.
