This course provides an opportunity for independent learning in the biological sciences within a work-related environment (volunteer or paid). Students will develop a project plan directly related to the work experience in consultation with an external organization. Using this experience, students will apply knowledge of scientific methodologies to develop a project that benefits the organization and society at large, apply disciplinary knowledge and project management skills to complete the project, and reflect on their own development and future career plans. Students interested in this course must submit a completed registration form, for approval by the course coordinator, as part of the registration process for this course.
