These hands-on experiences might involve collecting, cleaning and analyzing data; performing and observing experiments; and writing and editing reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>See how one 糖心破解版 lab gives research opportunities to students: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/home.adelphi.edu\/~farerilab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Fareri Lab for Social Neuroscience and Decision-Making<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Travel Study With Faculty Members<\/h3>\n<p><span>Many 糖心破解版 academic programs offer travel-study experiences, some of which are related to their professor\u2019s research interests. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adelphi.edu\/study-abroad\/study-abroad-opportunities\/faculty-led\/\">Faculty-led study abroad programs<\/a> are an excellent way to study a special topic with an 糖心破解版 professor in a new cultural context.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Class Projects, Independent Study and Service Work<\/h3>\n<p>Across disciplines, many 糖心破解版 faculty members create coursework and class activities around research initiatives. This hands-on experience broadens students\u2019 understanding of a topic, while allowing them to see the issue being tackled in action.<\/p>\n<p>Students in majors of all kinds can also enroll in an independent study course, which often revolves around a research project. To do that, your advisor will need to fill out an <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdRKr3-i9-gGpQOR4hQUBBI-pEO8F9wOUPN6NyLieVLcuuJHg\/viewform?pli=1&amp;pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independent Study Contract<\/a>. <span>Registration can be completed before the start of the semester, or during the semester by the posted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adelphi.edu\/academics\/academic-calendar\/\">last day to add an independent study<\/a><span>. However, you are strongly encouraged to have registration completed before the semester begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Find a Research Advisor<\/h2>\n<p>Students interested in guided research and creative works must find an individual faculty member to serve as an advisor.<\/p>\n<p>Students will generally work on a project that falls within one of their advisor\u2019s active research and creative areas. To identify potential advisors, you should look at the artistic and research areas of various faculty to find those whose work is interesting to you.
