Assignments / Deliverables
Summer 2009
Students participating in the Undergraduate Laboratory Research Internship programs at LBNL have a number of program-centered assignments. Some of these are designed to aid the student and the mentor in developing a research assignment and keeping it on track. There are other assignments at the end of the summer that will enhance your professional skills.
Most assignments are to be completed by all students, but there are a few that vary depending on which program you are in. (Please note: the PST program includes CalTeach and STAR students.)
