Course Description
This course provides an opportunity for students to conduct a research project under the supervision of a member of the Faculty. Students are expected to devote a minimum of seven hours per week to the course from the week the fall term lectures begin to the last week of the spring term. Research projects will involve experimental design and work, data analyses, literature reading etc.
This course requires a minimum of 7 hours per week of supervised work in the laboratory. The final grade will be based on the 1-page research project summary (4%), the supervisor's assessment (66% mid-term and final evaluation), a 10-minute presentation (10%) and a written report of your work (20%).
Application
Students who have already secured a research Supervisor (such as those staying on from the IMM summer program) should indicate this on their ballot, and will be automatically accepted upon confirmation by the Supervisor.
Students who find a supervisor in another department other than Immunology, are eligible, as long as project has an immunology focus. Please contact the Immunology Admin Office (undergraduate.immunology@utoronto.ca) with the name of supervisor who has agreed to supervise you and a brief description of the project for approval.
Students who do not have a research supervisor will be ranked by the Course Coordinator, with preference given to Immunology Specialists and Majors. Selected students will be sent a list of available projects / Supervisors to which they can apply.
Please note that available positions are limited.
