BioC 5002 guides advanced undergraduates and new graduate students as they learn how to design experiments and to critically evaluate a wide variety of cutting-edge research projects, both as readers and as researchers. Introductory lectures include peer review, experimental design, critical thinking and the psychology of judgment and decision-making. This is followed by a series of guest speakers who will guide students as they develop their skills in evaluation of current research papers.
