COURSE INFORMATION
This is the major laboratory course intended for students in the Honors Specialization module in Clinical Biochemistry. The course consists of lectures on laboratory safety and scientific integrity; an independent research project (topic and advisor chosen by consultation between student and faculty); scientific communication (two seminars/written report). The objective of the course is to provide the student with the opportunity to experience first hand what research is all about. Students will work with a Faculty member on some aspect of his/her research program. This course is restricted to 4th year Honors students and Scholars Elective students. The 4th year Honors programs have been designed to leave at least each afternoon to work on their projects. Supervisors have spent considerable time devising and organizing the 4th year projects, and so it is essential that students start their projects on time and agree with their supervisors on a work schedule so each knows roughly when the student will be in the laboratory. 4th year students are not permitted to work alone in the Lab at nights or on weekends. This should not be necessary if you get your work done during weekdays.
