Insect Science: Graduate Interdisciplinary Program

Forms for Rotations

INSC 700

Each student must take two or three research rotations, which count towards the 36 units of Insect science courses, in the first year in the Program. The required course, Methods in Insect Science (INSC 700), provides a formal mechanism for these rotations, which encourage you to have hands-on experience in areas of interest, to learn research methods in the field and to become acquainted with the laboratory work and research group of prospective dissertation advisors. Ordinarily, rotations are approximately 8-16 weeks each, with about 10 hours/week in the lab.

Design the project with the help of either your advisor (if you have one) or the INSC academic advisor (Martha Hunter) and your rotation mentor. BEFORE the project begins, submit a brief outline of the planned work to Sharon Richards. AFTER the rotation is complete, complete a brief summary of the work and training accomplished. In addition, both you and your rotation mentor should complete separate evaluations of the experience. Submit these to Sharon Richards. You can use the forms at the end of the handbook or type your own with the indicated information.

The forms for your rotation plan, final report, student's evaluation and mentor's evaluation are available through these links or type your own with the indicated information:
