Advanced Scientific Research (ASR)

ASR 110 -  Intermediate Science Research Methods I  
Credit Hours: 2, Contact Hours: 2
Division: Science Math
Students learn research methodology in the natural and social sciences by accessing scientific databases, using online bibliographic search techniques, consulting doctoral-level research scholars, developing hypotheses and performing experiments to test them, and writing research papers and making presentations at scientific symposia. Emphasis is placed on the formulation of hypotheses and initiation of experiments in consultation with mentors. Prerequisite(s): satisfactory completion (2.0) of one year of high school science, Junior-class standing, and permission of instructor. High School only. Group 2 course. Communications - Direct.
