Each full-time student is required to take one elective during the Fall and Spring Quarters. Note that some students will be restricted in their elective choice by their advisor.
This Winter Quarter course is designed to expose students to cutting-edge research in neurobiology, and emphasize reading and critical discussion of primary literature.
The specific objectives for the student are: (1) To understand the research topics the laboratory investigates (2) To understand the research methods the laboratory uses (3) To develop critical thinking skills, the ability to meaningfully design scientific experiments, a work ethic consistent with those of a professional scientist, and appropriate time management skills.
Available to students who completed the program coursework and are continuing in their degree program (writing a thesis or dissertation and/or performing research required for the degree), but not receiving University or external funding. TGS 512 is a full time registration intended for students who are continuing to work in a full-time capacity toward degree completion. TGS 512 is $100 per additional quarter.
Please Note: If you are interested in another elective that does not appear on the list, please discuss this with the Director of Graduate Studies.
