• These reasoning skills will be emphasized throughout the curriculum, especially in statistics,  Experimental Neuroscience (BIO 260), and Neuroscience (BIO 362) 

Students will be able to find and interpret articles in the neuroscience primary literature

• Primary literature is a focus of both Neuroscience (BIO 362) and the capstone seminar (NEUR  485) 

Students will be able to communicate scientific ideas in oral and written format 

• Designated speaking (BIO 362) and writing (BIO 260) courses will serve to develop these skills  in students, while the capstone seminar (NEUR 485) will reinforce speaking and writing
