BIO 398 - RESEARCH AND WRITING IN BIOLOGY College of Arts & Sciences
Credit(s): 1 - 3 (Variable)
An independent laboratory research project in an area of biology under the direction of a faculty mentor. The research may be conducted in the Department of Biology or in other biological units on campus. A research contract signed by the student and the faculty research mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. As part of the course, students will complete one or more formal written assignments that total at least 4500 words, with a significant portion of this assignment or assignments revised at least once. Completion of at least one of the Biology core courses (Cell Biology, Evolution, Genetics, Physiology, Ecology) is strongly recommended. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits, but a maximum of only 6 credits of independent research (BIO 394, 395, 397, or 398) may be used to satisfy the requirements of a BS or BA in Biology. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
Prereq: BIO 148, BIO 152 and BIO 155 or equivalent. Repeatable up to 12 credit hours.
