FRI Second Semester (Fall Course)
After you have completed the first semester Spring Research Course, you have the option to continue with your Research Stream and register for the second semester fall course. The structure of this course is more independent, with more time to work in-depth on projects. Class meetings resume, but they now resemble research lab meetings in which research progress is explored and communicated.
REGISTRATION
- Your Research Educator will provide registration information and instructions.
- Stream switching after the first semester is not possible at this time.
- Note that course credit options are subject to change.
