Outcomes
To expose students to realistic scientific questions and encourage critical thinking, teach how to design hypothesis-based experiments, choose appropriate statistical test(s), analyze data, and interpret results.
To fill students' scientific "tool box" by demonstrating mastery of modern lab techniques and scientific methods that can later be applied across varied biological systems and scales.
To teach students how to find relevant scientific information using appropriate library tools, and to communicate effectively using both written and oral formats.
To teach students how to think through a scientific process with their research group while acquiring conceptual knowledge and understanding the benefits and challenges of collaborative work.
To teach how to use discovery science to explore patterns in nature, and understand the importance of accuracy and precision.
To provide students with the opportunity to learn and apply fundamental biological information in the context of the course modules.
