About the Course
Individual study of selected topics with emphasis on readings
and use of scientific literature. This course is writing intensive.
Students will write a review article on a topic in their discipline
of interest. They will learn to survey current literature
in a specific area of research, organize the data available
relevant to the research topic, and effectively communicate
this information in their paper. Also, students will draw
conclusions from their investigation of the research topic
and suggest directions for future research. Students are required
to write a 10-15 page paper in the format of a scientific
review article. An extensive survey of the literature will
be required. This course is graded pass/fail, and the final
grade is based on successful completion of the review article.
