Title
Design and execute experiments with nucleic acids applicable to prokaryotic systems
Learning Outcome
Apply nucleic acid techniques to isolate, purify, characterize, manipulate, amplify and express DNA and/or RNA in prokaryotic systems.
Title
Design and execute experiments with proteins derived from gene expression in prokaryotes
Learning Outcome
Characterize and manipulate proteins obtained from gene expression in prokaryotic organisms.
Title
Clearly communicate research approaches and data
Learning Outcome
Communicate in written and verbal forms the methods and results of experimentation. Provide sufficient explanation of experimental techniques and approaches to enable others to repeat experiments and verify results.
Title
Use of existing resources to address research questions
Learning Outcome
Utilize available resources (e.g., online, manufacturer's protocols) to plan, execute, and troubleshoot experimental approaches.
