ECOL195C - Research Methods in Biology for STEM majors
Course ID
041288
Course Description
For any STEM major, a university like the UA offers many opportunities to be involved in actual scientific research. But how do you become involved, and how do you make the most of this experience? In this course you will learn about the rules of academia, how to perform rigorous research, how to do statistical analyses in R, and how to graph and present your results to peers and others. You will meet a group of fellow research-active undergraduate students, and we will also discuss possible next steps, such as how to apply for graduate school. This course is intended to be taken alongside your research (we will help you find a research position in the first week if you do not have one yet), so that the data you analyze and present in class will come from your ongoing work.
