Neurobiology & Physiology Program Progression Guide, Study notes of Immunology

A program progression guide for the Neurobiology & Physiology degree program at Purdue University for the academic year 2021-2022. It provides information on degree requirements, university core curriculum, required major program courses, and degree electives. The guide is intended to assist students in developing an individualized 8-semester plan and is not an official notification of completion of degree or certificate requirements. Students are ultimately responsible for knowing, monitoring, and completing all degree requirements.

Base Laboratory Requirement for all Biology Majors

1. Students must complete one of the Required courses in the chart below. Undergraduate research cannot be used to

meet this requirement.

2. Students must also complete Objectives A and B as listed in the chart below with courses or research or a

combination of the two.

3. Descriptions of Objectives A and B (not all tasks must be met to satisfy an objective):

a. Objective A – Demonstrate the ability to plan and design hypothesis-driven experiments, simulations or

discovery/observational experiments

i. Conduct an appropriate literature review for a specific scientific topic.

ii. Generate an applicable hypothesis (-es) for your research project

iii. Identify techniques to be used in your project, with justification of those techniques.

iv. Write a formal research proposal.

v. Write a detailed outline of experiments

b. Objective B - Develop the ability to appropriately analyze, critically evaluate, and depict data. Demonstrate

the ability to effectively communicate scientific information orally and in writing, including synthesizing and

evaluating scientific literature and putting experimental results in their appropriate scientific context.

i. Analyze data

ii. Use appropriate ways to depict and communicate data (e.g., graphs, movies, images, etc.). Present

the research at lab meetings, in a talk, or at a poster session.

iii. Write a summary (or summaries) of the data.

4. If research is used, the research director will be the one who decides if the research meets one or both objectives.

5. If research is used, it must include at least four credits of BIOL 49400 or 49900. BIOL 29400 research does not

count toward this requirement.

6. Students who successfully complete a Biology Honors Research Thesis have successfully met Objectives A

and B.

7. The Microbiology and Health & Disease majors require BIOL 43900 and the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental

Biology major requires BIOL 59500, Laboratory in Ecology.
