BIOL 128 - Laboratory Skills in GeneticsSemester Hours: 2
This course is designed to provide biology majors with a fundamental understanding of how biologists develop research questions, design experiments, analyze data, and report their findings to the scientific community. This course approaches that skill set using the genetics of model species. Students will develop skills in the scientific process, including data collection, literature searches and data mining, hypothesis development, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, laboratory notebooks, basic molecular biological skills, and written or oral communication of research results. Recitations will more fully develop topics in lab. (3 hour laboratory, 1 hour recitation).
