Great Lab

 TRAINING COURSE OUTLINE

Course scheduling will be based upon student availability and preferences by the beginning of each semester. For 1 credit hour of PDBio 494R a typical semester schedule is shown below, but is subject to change.

During a typical Fall or Winter semester students are required to attend one 2-hour session and log an hour of additional lab work for each session. During Spring and Summer terms students are required to attend two 2-hour sessions and log an  additional hour of lab work for each session.

Once you have been assigned a particular group you must attend during that group time only. Groups will cover different subjects each session during the semester. We will take regular attendance, and most subjects will build upon the previous session's material.

The Aim and Purpose of the BioPhysics Great Lab Training Course it to help teach:

• Biophysics principles and techniques
• Research processes that lead to significant scientific findings that merit sharing via publications and presentations
• Precision, accuracy, and confidence in quantitative laboratory measurement skills and sterile technique
• Library research resource utilization for scientific research
• Effective collaboration with other researchers
• Specific research focuses currently being investigated by Biophysics Great Lab Principle Investigators (PI). One of these Professors may become your mentor as you pursue undergraduate mentored research projects
