Experience Research at the Undergraduate Level
The Directed Research (Honours Thesis) is a great opportunity offered to 4th year students. Over the course of two semesters you can earn 6 credits for undertaking a real research project. The Directed Research is an introduction to the research process, it is a challenging course requiring a time commitment equal to, or in excess of, the time investment of regular format courses. Under the direct supervision of a professor you will learn new skills and apply much of what you have learned as an undergraduate. Click on the links below to see the poster of the research. Follow the links below to learn more about the Undegraduate Rresearch description and rules, format and evaluation, or see what has been done by students in previous years.
