NSCI 487 is a one credit class that pairs undergraduate students seeking research experience in ecological or related sciences with graduate students, faculty, or researchers who need help with their projects. This is an exciting opportunity to get hands-on research experience - which is not only fun, but a great resume builder - while earning college credit. See the Syllabus page for details!
Students will perform 45 hours of research work on their mentor's project and at the end of the semester will write a paper and make a presentation about what they worked on and what they learned. See Syllabus page and FAQ for Students page for more details. See Research Opportunities page for current opportunities.
Mentors will provide information on their projects and the scientific process; train, supervise, and grade students on the work they do for the project; grade the final paper; attend the final presentation session and grade their student's presentation. Graduate students who mentor an undergraduate may also register for one credit of supervised college teaching. See the Syllabus and FAQ for Mentors pages for details, then complete the Mentorship Proposal Form.
