This Fall quarter course is designed to expose students to cutting-edge research in neurobiology, and to emphasize reading and critical discussion of primary literature.
This course is comprised of your time in the lab doing research and working on your thesis project. 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 that of a professional scientist, and appropriate time management skills.
Each full-time student is required to take one elective during Winter quarter and one in Spring quarter. Note that some students will be restricted in their elective choices by their advisor. Electives must be:
At least one unit
ABC graded (not P/N)
Authorized for graduate credit
Only courses listed in CAESAR with a career of "The Graduate School” are authorized for graduate credit, and only those courses can be used to meet elective requirements.
See the list of available electives for more information.
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.
