BIO 350 - Junior Seminar

The first semester of the three-semester capstone is taken in the Spring semester of the junior year and focuses on career exploration and the development of the scientific reasoning and communication skills essential for the graduating Biology/Toxicology/ESS majors. This seminar facilitates the integration of students’ scientific experience with other modes of inquiry. Students propose a capstone research project in this first semester, designate a faculty supervisor, and begin the literature investigation to support their proposed project. Students are encouraged to develop either a laboratory or field-based original research project, but some students may elect to complete an exhaustive literature-based project on a topic in the primary literature of biological science.
