Dear members, I hope you can help. Here at Georgia Gwinnett College, our Biology Majors are required to have a research experience or complete an internship somewhere off campus.
many of our students choose to do research with a faculty member who agrees to mentor the student through a semester long research project...some of us are spending 6-8 hours a week working with these students but unfortunately do not receive any credit for doing so...this is in addition to our full teaching load. We are trying to determine whether other institutions that have similar requirements for students, or offer this research experience as an elective, compensate their faculty and if so how? if you can help, please copy and paste the following questions and your answers in an email and send them directly to me at [email protected] 1) Institution/department ___________________________________________ 2) your institution offers B.S. _________ M.S. _______ PhD ________ 3) Is the research experience a requirement or an elective ___________________ 4) is research experience a 1 semester course or a 2 semester sequence ___________________ 5) how many credit hours do students receives ___________ 6) what is your full time teaching load (number of hours in the classroom per week) ____________________ 7) are faculty compensated and if so how (course release, teaching load credit, etc.)?? ____________________________________________________________________________ I thank you for your time and attention Riccardo Fiorillo, PhD Associate Professor of Biology School of Science and Technology Georgia Gwinnett College 1000 University Center Lane Lawrenceville, GA 30043 Office: A1115 Cell: 770-853-5744 [email protected]
