[FUN_Mail] Teaching Credit for Mentoring Undergraduate Research

[Judith Ogilvie via FUN_Mail]

We address the issue of assigning teaching credit by having a different
course section number for each faculty member associated with independent
research course number. So, for example, we might have 3 sections of our
intro class (because no one lecture hall is big enough) which are numbered
Biol 1040-01, Biol 1040-02, and Biol 040-03. But for independent research,
we have 25-30 different sections of Biol 4980, one for each faculty member.
Hope this helps.

> Our department (Psychological Sciences and Behavioral Neuroscience) at
