About this course
This course guide is designed to support students enrolled in BIOL 410 or CHEM 410, the senior seminar for Biology and Chemistry majors. Students will choose a topic of interest in biology or chemistry and perform a thorough literature review, culminating in a 23–25 minute oral presentation. Throughout the course, students will work closely with their instructor and a chosen faculty mentor to conduct a comprehensive review and synthesis of the scientific literature. This seminar provides students an opportunity to develop and practice critical thinking and communications skills required in science.
This guide is is intended to give students a starting point for their own research.
