備考 By the end of this course, students will really understand all that goes in to conducting and reporting on research. They will be able to show others their understanding in written form, poster form, and in discussion form. Students taking this course should come prepared to work hard but to have fun too! And they will also accomplish something they can be proud of, if they apply themselves properly.
