This class is appropriate for biology majors as well as nonmajors (although please note that there are prerequisites for this class). 

Behavioral Biology Field Course (Bio Sci 4085 Fall Term Only)

In this course, we will spend the semester traveling to different steams across Columbia, Missouri and will work together as a class to conduct a scientific experiment from beginning to end. Students will get hands on experience with data collection in freshwater aquatic ecosystems, data analysis using R, and manuscript prep. This course does NOT require current or previous enrollment in Behavioral Biology (Bio Sci 4640).
