Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.
Tom Krause

Student teams will propose a new genetic circuit according to the Project Proposal Guidelines.

• The Brainstorming document is a TEAM assignment and is due after lab day 6: submit this assignment as .doc or .docx in OWL-Space
• Each TEAM will give a Project Presentation on the last day of class on the idea that you have chosen for your proposal. This 10-minute presentation should be divided into two sections:
  
  
  1. Description of the need for your biotechnology (i.e., the current problem that it helps overcome): describe the magnitude of the challenge and what people currently are doing to deal with it
  2. Outline of your DNA device: include the parts that are needed to build it, a schematic of the genetic circuit, and methods that will be needed to test its function
  
  
• The Project Proposal, which is 25% of your final grade, is a TEAM project; each member will receive the SAME grade.
  Therefore, EACH of you is responsible for the ENTIRE proposal, not just the part(s) you worked on.
• Project proposals are due by 4 pm on the LAST day of classes: please place one copy of your proposal (do not staple--use paper clip) in Dr. Beason's inbox, ABL 326.

Please review my Honor Code Policy for BIOC 313.
