Designed to prepare students for future research experiences. Topics covered include exploring research interests, discussing mentor/mentee responsibilities, identifying and evaluating research opportunities, designing resumes and personal statements, utilizing library resources, managing citations & bibliographies, reading primary literature, joining the scholarly conversation, developing hypotheses & research proposals, and considering ethics. The course is taught by a variety of faculty/staff to enrich the expertise and is a collaboration between the McNair Scholars Program and the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS).
This experience introduces prospective teachers to the culture of the high school environment. Students observe and assist a biology or chemistry teacher, interview school personnel, talk with students, and teach technology-integrated lessons and content reading strategies in their subject area. Assessment strategies are observed and practiced.

Independent Study.
Introduces beer appreciation through an examination of the chemistry of beer and the factors that affect its chemical properties. The course will include a study of fermentation and metabolic processes, beer composition, and sensory perception. Students will learn to recognize the major features of beer that determine sensory quality and know the processes that produced them.
Studies science as a human activity in relationship with other aspects of society. Students engage with how historical, cultural, and social contexts influence science, and how science influences history, culture, and society. Students examine definitions of the boundaries of science, as a body of knowledge and as a creative process. Students learn some cross-cutting scientific principles and build understandings about the nature of science itself. Students contend with how science has been and should be applied to problems when complex technological, social, political, and ethical considerations also apply. No prior knowledge of particular science content is required.
