• ZOO 5270: Writing and Reviewing Science

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  This course will help students prepare a scientific manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal; in so doing, students will become more effective, efficient, and confident writers. Students will learn principles of effective writing, how to prepare a manuscript for publication, navigate the peer-review process, and write a constructive review. Prerequisite: Students must have graduate standing and an analyzed dataset on which the manuscript will be based. Students must have approval from their advisors and key collaborators before embarking on this journey. We also encourage students to maintain this approval throughout the semester.

• ZOO 5280: Intro Neurosci

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Examines the basic properties of neurons and from there identifies determinants of brain development and how neuronal circuits are formed. How neuronal circuits underlie processing sensory information, coordinated movement, complex functions (e.g. sleep, learning) and homeostasis are discussed. Dual listed with ZOO 4280. Prerequisites: ZOO 3115 or equivalent.
