Research as Writing Intensive Request Form and Syllabus
If you have taken 3 hours of research, and you are continuing that research into another semester, you can count a future semester as writing intensive. This can count towards your BIMS directed electives and writing intensive at the same time. You just have to have completed 3 hours of research previously. Please complete this form if you meet that criteria and your professor agrees to the requirements. You will email this completed form to bims@tamu.edu.
**Please note that you can only receive a total of 9 hours in combination of these options.**
Student Instructions
Meet with your advisor to confirm that your desired 285/485/291/491/484 experience will apply to your degree. Fill out the appropriate form then send it from your Texas A&M email to your professor for discussion and signature. You will then upload the signed copy to the google form for submission. If you are completing research, you will need to attach the lab safety certificates as well.
If you are asking for writing intensive credit for your research, obtain a syllabus from your advisor prior to signing up. Your professor must agree to the writing syllabus terms. Your professor should return the signed form to you then you email it to bims@tamu.edu from your Texas A&M email. Include “Writing Intensive Research Form” in the subject line.
Professor Instructions
Discuss with your student the scope and expectations for proposed activities and then update the project description section as needed in the form your student provides you. You may sign it electronically then email it to the student. Your student will submit the signed form to BIMS advising.
NOTE: You must have filed a COVID safety plan with your Department Head to have the student in the lab or clinical environment. Further, they may not start their work in your lab until the first day of class and must work in the lab within the boundaries of the semester. Your student must also complete the appropriate lab safety training.
