Goal Summary:

If you give a man a fish, he will eat for the day. If you teach a man to fish, he will eat as long as there are fish in the lake. This training will not only allow you as a student to study on your own and operate the microscopes, but it will also empower you to take charge of your biology learning experience in the lab. The training will add a sense of worth to your experience in the labs as you are learning knowledge that you can use today, in future classes, and in your future careers. The training will help you identify the amount of time you need to put into studying for the lab material, allowing you ample time to do your best work, taking the honor in your job well done.
