Course Catalog Description
Students in this course will develop competency in scientific communication, including scientific writing and presentation of data. We will use active learning exercises to teach strategies for organizing and presenting scientific ideas and evidence verbally and in writing. Each semester there will be one broad neuroscience topic (such as color vision or memory) that we will study in three different research areas: cellular, circuits/systems and cognitive neuroscience. Throughout the semester, students will read and discuss research articles, practice interpreting graphs, make presentations, and complete scientific writing assignments such as analyzing a research article.

All seats are reserved for declared Neuroscience students until Nov 27, 2024. If you are intending to major in Neuroscience, please ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITLIST FIRST and then complete the following form to request access to the reserved seats during Phase 1. https://forms.gle/cGYUDDK8e8HahTWP8
The department will add the intended Neuroscience students to the remaining reserved seats in early November, before they get released to other waitlisted students on Nov 27. We cannot guarantee you a seat, but if you can be flexible with the discussion section time, then that may increase your chances of getting in. If there are not enough seats, students will be prioritized by class level and EGT. show less
