In these courses, students are trained in basic lab or field techniques used in molecular biology and/or ecology and are taught to apply these techniques to answer a research question, using the scientific method. By guiding students through making observations, asking questions, and solving problems, we teach students to think critically and practice their problem solving skills. PBIO 4960R, 4970R, etc. fulfill the Experiential Learning (EL) requirement for majors in Franklin College of Arts & Sciences.
