This course is designed to provide a broad introduction into the data, results, and information associated with biological research, and into some of the analytical approaches used to test biological hypotheses. Communication of these aspects of biological research is crucial, and much of this lab course will be focused on the development of effective writing skills for the delivery of this information.
Biology 198 is one of the Scholars courses for biology majors in the Department of Biology Scholars Program. This course is designed to provide a solid introduction to 21st century bioscience research. Students will learn how to critically read, interpret, understand and discuss original literature. Students will learn how to discuss data and information from the original literature appropriately, develop reasonable hypotheses from current 21st century bioscience problems and provide plausible conclusions and presentations in regard to those problems using original information and data.

Participation in biological research under the direction of a faculty mentor in Biology or a related field. A research contract signed by the student and faculty mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. Offered pass/fail only.
The course introduces fundamental microbiological principles and techniques. Emphasis is placed on the interactions between humans and microorganisms, especially bacteria and viruses, the use of antimicrobial agents, microbial antibiotic resistance, and the structural, functional, and evolutionary relationships among microorganisms.
