As part of the Directed Studies program in Biology, our BIO and BIOC 409/499 students will each be presenting a 15-minute seminar outlining their research proposal. These presentations account for 5% of each student’s overall grade in the course and will be evaluated by their research supervisors. This year, 27 students will present over 3 days.
If you would like to stop by and show your support, the presentations will take place on:
- Friday, October 23 – 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Monday, October 26 – 11:00 AM to 2:40 PM
- Tuesday, October 27 – 10:00 AM to 4:40 PM
The full 3-day schedules are listed below. Faculty and students do not need to stay for the entire duration, as this is quite a large time commitment.
Thank you for your continued support of our Directed Study students. These proposal seminars offer valuable feedback and help prepare them for future graduate studies and careers in Biology and Biochemistry.
