Course Description
Offers the student research experience as part of a Biology research team. The student must make arrangements with a faculty member before enrolling in this course. Students are expected to commit to approximately 5-10 hours per week (on average) for one term. The student and faculty member must sign a form in which they agree on the type and amount of work to be done, and the form must be approved by the Instructor before the student will be allowed to enroll. Students may enrol in this course during any term, and there is no limit to the number of terms in which they are allowed to enroll.
Students will not be allowed to enroll in a biology research practicum course with their Honours Thesis (SC/BIOL 4000 8.00) supervisor during the same terms that they are enrolled in SC/BIOL 4000 8.00. The course evaluation will be pass/fail only.
Students will be required to obtain safety training, such as WHMIS, if appropriate to the type of research undertaken.
The course is intended only for students in Biology or Biochemistry majors.
