An investigation of a specialized area of biology not normally covered in the biology curriculum. Topics will be selected by the biology faculty according to student interest. Students are encouraged to suggest topics for this course. May be repeated for credit if the topic is not repetitive. Lecture and laboratory. Taught according to student demand and staff availability. Some topics may have prerequisites. Check the online “Schedule of Classes” for possible prerequisites.
Laboratory Teaching Assistant
Supervised experience in organizing, preparing, and teaching biology laboratories. Students are assigned to a specific biology course and will assist the instructor in one laboratory section each week. Grade evaluation will be based on attendance, preparation, teaching ability and specific tasks assigned by the instructor, such as designing a demonstration or experiment to illustrate a biological principle. May be repeated for credit. This course does not count towards the biology major or minor requirements. Students must obtain consent of the instructor.
Upper-Level Marine Science Transfer Course
This course number is for students transferring upper-level marine science courses from other institutions when the course does not directly translate to an existing SMCM course code due to either credit value or topic. Students seeking approval for this course must send a copy of the transfer course description and syllabus to the program chair.
Upper-Level Marine Science Topics with Laboratory
An investigation of a specialized area of marine science not normally covered in the marine science curriculum. Topics will be selected by the marine science faculty according to student interest. Students are encouraged to suggest topics for this course. May be repeated for credit if the topic is not repetitive. Lecture and laboratory. Taught according to student demand and staff availability.
Marine Science SMP 1 and 2
The project, which may take many forms, draws on and extends knowledge, skills of analysis and creative achievement developed through previous academic work. In consultation with a faculty mentor, the student initiates the project, identifies an area to be explored, and proposes a method of inquiry appropriate to the topic. Students will be responsible for proposing a project NLT February 1 of the student’s junior year. The proposal must gain the approval and support of 18 the marine science faculty. The project should include a reflection on the body of literature, or the conceptual framework to which it is a contribution. It must be shared with the College community through posters, presentations, or other means. This course is repeatable for up to eight credit hours. Consult faculty mentor for project proposal guidelines. Prerequisites: Proposal approval of faculty mentor and program chair, MRNE 110, MRNE 220, and BIOL 383/MRNE 383. MRNE494 requires the prerequisite of MRNE 493.
Marine Science Capstone
A capstone experience in which students design, execute, and report on a marine science research project. Provides students with the opportunity to synthesize knowledge and skills developed through their marine science learning experiences. Prerequisites: MRNE 110, MRNE 220, and BIOL 383/MRNE 383. MRNE 220 and BIOL 383/MRNE 383 can be taken as corequisites.
Topics in Marine Science
An investigation of a specialized area of marine science not normally covered in the marine science curriculum. Topics will be selected by the marine science faculty according to student interest. Students are encouraged to suggest topics for this course. May be repeated for credit if the topic is not repetitive. Taught according to student demand and staff availability.
Marine Science Independent Study
This course consists of an independent creative or research project designed by the student and supervised by a biology faculty member. The nature of the project, the schedule for accomplishment, and the means of evaluation must be formalized in a learning contract prior to registration. (See “Independent Study” under “Academic Policies” section.)
Off-Campus Internship
A variety of off-campus experiential learning opportunities can be arranged through the Career Development Center. The off-campus internship is an individually designed experience that allows the student to explore the relationship between learning in the classroom and the practical application of knowledge in everyday work situations. Prerequisites: Admission to the Internship Program and approval of the academic adviser and the department chair. Credit/no credit grading.
Directed Research in Marine Science
Under the direct supervision of a faculty member, a student participates in laboratory or field research. A learning contract that specifies the research goals and methodology must be filed with the Office of the Registrar. A maximum of four credit hours of directed research in marine science may be applied to major requirements. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: Learning contract filed in the Office of the Registrar.
