Additional Course Requirements
PSC1121L is a laboratory which allows students to able to collect and analyze data in a variety of experiments covering topics covered in its companion course PSC1121. Students will create experiment reports using analysis in algebra.
Students (individually or in a group) will conduct research projects or certain aspects of research projects under the supervision of the instructor. This course is intended to help students acquire skills in applying research principles and obtaining practice in rigorous data collection and reporting in physical sciences. Hours may vary. Permission of instructor is required.

Instructor permission required. The instructor may incorporate any 5 or more objectives as appropriate to the given student project.
Open to advanced undergraduates with consent of instructor and completion of prerequisites or with permission of instructor(s). The course consists of lectures, substantial readings and field sessions. This course introduces students to the basic ecological aspects of corals and coral reef ecosystems. Content includes ecological principles such as biophysical components, diversity and resilience. Identification of coral reef species from the Caribbean and Florida are examined. The field study portion of the class illustrates concepts from the lectures and give students practical experience in basic coral reef.
The Scientific Diving course provides background and hands-on training to promote safe and productive scientific diving. This course is designed to meet the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) standards for the training and certification of scientific divers and the operation of scientific diving programs. Content includes dive planning and safety, equipment, instruction for underwater surveys, data management and reporting. Certifications in in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillator (AED), First Aid, and Oxygen Administration comprise a portion of the course.
