Completing an
undergraduate thesis successfully in partial fulfillment of the BS Biology
Program is the last and often most challenging part of undergraduate BS
students. This undergraduate course provides a comprehensive introduction to
research proposal writing, research methodologies, and foundational research
theories and protocols. The curriculum is sequential, helping students to
identify a study topic, formulate inquiry questions, organize a literature
review, and select appropriate research designs and methodologies. By the end
of the course, students will complete a proposal that includes an introduction,
literature review, materials and methods section, references, and a project
timeline. Students are also expected to present/defend their undergraduate
thesis proposal in public with the assistance of their chosen thesis
adviser/mentor.
