OBL10
- AP Biology Lab (Summer session at Stanford: 2 units)
AP
Biology Lab is a three-week-long residential summer course held on
the Stanford campus that allows students to explore college-level
introductory biology topics through hands-on experimentation. Topics
include molecular and cellular biology; physiology of plants,
animals, and microbes; and ecology and evolution. Emphasis is placed
on understanding the process of science, experimental design and
interpretation, and the relevance of biology to our everyday lives.
Students gain experience with modern biological techniques currently
used in molecular biology and medical diagnostic labs, as well as
learning to effectively record and communicate results. This course
is designed to be taken after completion of the AP Biology year-long
course.
OPL50
- AP Physics Lab (Summer session at Stanford: 2 units)
Labs conducted at
Stanford facilities fulfill the AP lab component for AP Physics B
and AP Physics C.
OH020
and OH021 - Research Methods I and II (Summer seminar at
Stanford: 2 units each)
These
courses introduce students to the research process, offering them an
opportunity to master skills they need to pursue rigorous study in
the humanities and social sciences. This intensive program combines
presentations on methodology; lectures on a particular theme;
participation in small research groups (7 to 10 members) led by
qualified researchers; and individual tutorials in which students
receive comments and suggestions on their work. Students complete an
original research project based on sources available in the Stanford
University Libraries and the Hoover Institution's archives. They
learn how to survey existing knowledge; formulate a research problem;
design a research program; find, select, and exploit sources; analyze
empirical findings; develop an argument; and deliver their results in
effective multi-media presentations and well documented and closely
reasoned reports.
OL001,
OL002, OL003 - Leadership Seminar I, II, III (Summer
seminar at Stanford: 1 unit each) In this two-week
seminar style course, students review selected readings and engage in
lively class discussion to explore the complexities and multiple
dimensions of leadership. At the beginning of the course students are
asked to look inward into their own personal leadership style and the
pivotal importance of self-leadership. As the course progresses
students begin to look outward, considering the deeper needs that
people have and how leaders can tap into these to create highly
effective teams. The class discusses the importance of verbal and
non-verbal aspects of communication that leaders need to master in
order to manage effectively. Silicon Valley business leaders,
entrepreneurs, and inventors participate as guest speakers who share
their views on leading a company in the new global economy.
OEW20
- Writing Styles (Summer seminar at Stanford: 1 unit)
Students
are introduced to four distinct writing styles: Journalism, Creative
Writing, Speech Writing, and Science Writing. Through lecture and
analysis of writing samples, students learn the main differences
among the styles. Guest lecturers with expertise in each style are
invited to meet with students. Students write in two of these styles,
and the experts critique and analyze their work. |
