Question Title

* 1. Please enter your name and your CMU email address

Question Title

* 2. Please calculate the total number of hours per week that you will dedicate to non-academic activities for the Spring 2021 semester. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Other employment (whether on- or off-campus);
  • Residence life (residence assistant, desk assistant, etc.);
  • Athletics (whether varsity, intramural, etc.; including practices, training, games, travel time to away games, etc.);
  • Other clubs, student government, etc.;
  • Etc. 

Question Title

* 3. What is the minimum number of hours per week that you can guarantee towards "in-lab" work during the Spring 2021 semester? This includes being in the lab, making solutions and buffers, performing assays, purifying protein, recording raw data from instruments into notebook and Excel spreadsheets, and so forth -- work that can only be done in the lab and not remotely.

Question Title

* 4. What is the minimum number of hours per week that you can guarantee towards "out-of-lab" work during the Spring 2021 semester? Includes (but not limited to): Processing data, making calculations, plotting graphs, analyzing results, reading literature, writing summaries and reports of work completed, preparing for Student Showcase

Question Title

* 5. Is your living situation such that you can come and go as you please (e.g. off-campus living, not at the mercy of CMU residences telling you when to move in and move out), allowing you to live locally in Mesa County and potentially maximize research productivity during "break" periods (e.g. Spring Break, Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year's holiday, summer, etc.)?

Question Title

* 6. By when do you expect to complete your studies and leave Colorado Mesa University?

Question Title

* 7. Assuming all goes well, how long of a consecutive (i.e. non-stop) commitment can you conceivably make to LEoPARD research?

Question Title

* 8. Please select the grades you have earned in prior courses at CMU -- or other institutions if they have been successfully transferred for credit.
