Students in the Diversity Form and Function or the Environmental Biology program may receive credit for working under the tutelage of a mentor in a field directly related to their area of study. Students must secure both an internal supervisor (a fulltime faculty member) and a suitable mentor (i.e. external supervisor who will supervise the day to day activities of the student)./ Students must be actively involved in the daily work and should not be acting as menial labor.
Assessment of the student will be based largely on a mark assigned by the mentor directly responsible for the student and the submission of a journal outlining the daily objectives and actual work itself. Projects may be intensive in nature (i.e. 3 weeks during the summer), or may be more drawn out (i.e. 6-8 hours every week during the semester).
This course is only eligible to students in good standing and if available positions are available. Students may not work for salary and may not work concurrently in an area directly related to their honors project.
Note: Students may only take one experiential learning course for credit (i.e. BIO 391 or ELP 300).
