Each student will work under the direction of a member of the department on an experimental study. The results of this will be presented in thesis form and this will be critically examined by members of this and. where pertinent, other departments. Before selecting this course students must obtain approval for doing’so from both the professor under whose direction they wish to work and the chairman of Biology.
