Description of the course
The research course is a three year elective in which students choose a topic and carry out an original research project on that topic. The student does ALL of what professional researchers do, from journal readings to finding a mentor, planning a project, and carrying it out to an appropriate research conclusion. As the work progresses, the student writes research papers, creates posters, and presents research findings at available competitions and symposia as determined by the instructor. During the student’s junior and senior years, he or she may elect to take the course for college credit for a total of up to twelve credits at the State University of New York. Also during the junior and senior years, each student is required to enter available venues for competition as determined by the instructor. All students are welcome to apply regardless of past academic history. The only prerequisite is that the candidate be a self-motivated, hard worker.
