OCB 2000L (supervise)

Lab course for OCB 2000

Offered with OCB 2000

Provides a hands-on experience and introduce students to common marine organisms and their habitats and to the use of experimental methods to study marine biological problems.
Emphasis is placed on the physical environment, the different kinds of marine organisms -- from bacteria to plants and animals -- and how to classify them.
Illustrate the use of the scientific method as a powerful tool to answer questions about marine organisms.
