Course Objectives: |
This course
is a self-paced course designed to allow you the time to develop your final
report, poster presentation, and oral presentation. You will be expected to regularly update me
on your progress. You are free to drop
by and ask questions about the requirements for the presentations. Remember, though, that your faculty mentor
is the first person you should seek assistance. |

Method of
Evaluation: |
Poster Presentation – You will
need to create a poster summarizing your research project for display in
White Hall. Previous students’ posters
are currently hanging in White Hall and can be view as examples. The poster itself can be created in
PowerPoint and will be printed off on the large flat-bed printer in the
Hammons Center. Oral Presentation – You will be
expected to create an oral presentation summarizing your research
. This presentation will be
advertised across the university and you should expect it to be attended by
at least all of the Department of Biology faculty. Written Final Report – Guidelines
for this report are available on BlackBoard.
The formatting for this report is similar to what is expected for a
master’s thesis. It is the most
important aspect of BIO 427 and should not be taken lightly. |
