I. Program Overview
The Texas Tech University (TTU) Department of Biological Sciences' (DBS) mission is to embrace and integrate all aspects of the life science and related teaching. research and educational outreach, to develop and deliver and effective modern curriculum for graduate and undergraduate majors in the biological sciences and for non-majors taking biology classes, to contribute to basic knowledge and technology through faculty and student research, and to establish a departmental environment grounded in open and honest communication, mutual support, recognition of diverse individual contributions, and trust.
The vision statement of DBS is as follows: From a platform of innovative and effective approaches that integrate undergraduate and graduate education with multi-disciplinary research, the Department of Biological Sciences will achieve national and international leadership in research, scholarship, and education at all academic levels and provide campus-wide leadership in the integration on the life sciences.
Broadly speaking our research and graduate education efforts are focused in six major areas: Animal Physiology and Biomedical Science, several aspects of Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Microbiology, Plant Physiology and Molecular Biotechnology, and Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics. We still offer the ability to have broad and in-depth training in Organismal Biology, which makes us unusual among many peer departments. These strengths allow us to recruit students from a wide range of backgrounds. They also help foster collaborations with colleagues in other TTU units, with the Health Sciences Center and with both national and international researchers. We have faculty or graduate students 'on the ground' in Africa, Iraq and the Ukraine, China, and Australia and have active research projects ongoing with colleagues in several parts of Southeast Asia, Central and South America.
Our M.S. degrees in Biology, Microbiology and Zoology are designed to provide detailed training and exposure to our students. There are opportunities for individual research and exploration in each student's discipline; we mentor and train our students in both research and teaching methods, preparation of manuscripts and presentation of one's results in poster and oral formats; and we develop the skills necessary to either pursuing a Ph.D. or finding employment. For our Ph.D. students in Biology and Zoology (although the latter degree is being eliminated and in the future we will be awarding the Ph.D. in Biology with specialization in a number of different areas), their programs provide in-depth exposure to Biology in general; to foster and support individual research projects in the student's own sub-discipline, to train and mentor students in research methods, preparation of manuscripts and oral communication skills; and to mentor our students to be successful faculty and researchers.
To assist our Graduate Program efforts and increase academic diversity in DBS, we initiated a Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow Program in 2003 that has continued on through the present. Although the goal of the program is to train new Ph.D.’s in pedagogy as they assist in teaching, at the same time that they develop research collaborations, many of these individuals interact directly with our graduate students in teaching and research endeavors. In addition in the Spring of 2012, one of the Teaching Postdocs, Dr. Stephanie Lockwood with departmental approval a support began teaching a 3 hr course in Biological Pedagogy that will a requirement for all
Biological Sciences
2 graduate students that desire a Teaching Assistantship and have not had a similar course. Although it is early, all of the feedback on Dr. Lockwood's program has been positive and it may well be used as a model for all STEM departments.
Assessment of the Department's efforts to improve graduate education focuses on: 1) guaranteeing that M.S. or Ph.D. students that graduate from our program successfully compete for suitable academic, government or industry positions; 2) increasing the number and quality of publications by our graduate students; 3) increasing the number of awards and honors that our students earn at national or international meetings; and 4) increasing the numbers of scholarships and/or fellowships that our students receive from local (e.g., university) and national scientific societies or philanthropic organizations that support graduate education. Since 2006, we have been quite successful in placing our Ph.D.’s in positions that are most suited to their career choices, be that industry, government jobs or as faculty in teaching and research colleges and universities. To prepare our students, we encourage and support their travel to make presentations at regional, national and international meetings. We partner with the Graduate School in a funding match that supports travel to regional or (preferably) national meetings, and even though international meetings cannot be supported by 'local' funds, we also try to support (at some level and hopefully with most of the support coming from their mentor's grant) student travel to important international meetings. We have also supported the Graduate Student Forum, which has evolved into the Texas Tech Association of Biologists (annual) spring symposium (the TTU chapter of the American Association of Microbiologists also now participates) that is attended by graduate and undergraduate students from throughout the region. This event provides our students with invaluable logistical experience in organizing and setting up, as well as running a meeting, but also provides practice in presenting posters and talks at annual scientific society meetings.

II. Graduate Curricula and Degree Programs
A. Scope of programs within the department
Degree Programs
The Department of Biological Sciences has had six programs of study leading to the following graduate degrees during the period 2006-2011:
1. Master of Science in Biology 2. Master of Science in Biological Informatics 3. Master of Science in Microbiology 4. Master of Science in Zoology 5. Doctor of Philosophy in Biology 6. Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology
The Master of Science in Biological Informatics has been eliminated within the last year as a Low Producing Program. In addition, the Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology is being phased out (again due to low, but steady production). It will be replaced by the Doctor of Philosophy in Biology, noting specialization in different sub-disciplines (e.g., Ecology, Systematics, Microbiology, Zoology, etc.).
All Masters' students may elect a non-thesis option, however this track is generally limited to students that are attempting to matriculate to a professional school. In addition, the Department also participates in the interdisciplinary program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Biotechnology. Currently there are 127 graduate students (89 Ph.D. and 38 MS) enrolled in our degree programs.
For all of the Doctoral and Master's programs, each graduate student develops an individual plan of study in consultation with his or her Advisory Committee that is designed to make the student aware of the current state of knowledge in his or her area of specialization, advance the student's specific career goals, and assist the student to successfully complete his or her research. All new graduate students must enroll in BIOL 6202 Preparation for Graduate Learning and Teaching in Biology (taught by Dr. Lewis Held) during their first fall semester in the program, and all new teaching assistants that have not had a similar course must also enroll in one section of BIOL 6301 Advanced Topics in Biology (Section 025, Biological Pedagogy taught by Dr. Stephanie Lockwood ) for additional training and development of their teaching skills. These are the sole graduate course requirements at the departmental level. The Department currently offers over 50 courses at the graduate level encompassing all major areas of the biological sciences. Graduate students may also take graduate courses offered by other academic departments, and they may choose to designate a minor in a related area outside of the Department.

Admission into the Graduate Programs
Student recruitment into our graduate program occurs either through direct recruiting by faculty at meetings, through contacts with colleagues at other institutions, through contacts initiated by the student after visiting our website, or by faculty examining unsolicited applications in the Graduate Secretary's office. To apply to our graduate program, prospective students complete the departmental application form, which may be filled out and submitted on-line, have three reference forms with accompanying letters of recommendation sent to our graduate secretary by the referees (not by the student), and complete a goals statement. The application and reference forms are both posted on the departmental web site at
Progress Towards the Graduate Degree
Once a student is admitted into our program their progress is monitored by our Graduate Advisor and by their Advisory Committee. All students are requested to establish their Advisory Committee within the first 9 months (generally during the second semester). For an M. degree, three committee members are required while for the PhD degree, the department requires five members appointed to a student's advisory committee. While the majority of the members of an advisory committee must be from Biological Sciences, students are encouraged to take advantage of expertise available across the university (and even from faculty members from outside the university if appropriate) and most do. Generally, Master's students are expected to complete their degree requirements in two years and Doctoral students in five years. Students conducting field based research usually take longer to complete due to the nature of their research. The Department offers virtually all of its graduate courses on a semester, annual, or biennial schedule so that students may take their desired courses without delaying graduation. All students are expected to complete their 5 courses as soon as possible. Advisory Committees will usually approve a course substitution on the degree plan if the original course is not being offered in a timely fashion. Each graduate student is required to complete and submit an annual graduate student evaluation form (due in January for the previous calendar year). These forms allow the Graduate Advisor to track the progress of each student through the degree program. Students who are behind schedule to form their Advisory Committees, file their degree plans at the Graduate School, present research proposals to their Advisory Committees, and/or hold annual meetings with their Advisory Committees are reminded of their responsibility to fulfill these departmental and Graduate School requirements.
Philosophy of Graduate Education
The Department is committed to seeing that all of its graduate students are successful in the completion of their degrees. To achieve this end, each graduate student is required to hold at least one meeting annually with his or her Advisory Committee. The purpose of this meeting is for the student to present recent research results, discuss alternative experimental approaches, resolve potential problems, and foster open communication between student and committee members so as to avoid unpleasant setbacks or interactions later in the student's program. In addition to the development of a student's research expertise, the faculty advisor also seeks to instill in the student a love of learning, a mastery of the scientific method and ways of thinking, a desire to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge, and improvement of both oral and written communication skills. Only a small number of students (typically less than five percent) fail to complete their degrees, usually for personal reasons. All graduate students completing a thesis or dissertation are strongly encouraged to publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals in their field. The Department also encourages student participation at regional and national meetings and actively supports graduate student requests for travel to meetings to present their research as part of their graduate education. Support for graduate student travel is provided through our Graduate Tuition account, our two graduate student organizations, (TTUAB — Texas Tech University Associate of Biologists, and ASM — the student chapter of the American Association of Microbiologists, as well as support from the Graduate School). Since the Spring of 2010, there has been a student-sponsored symposium that invites not only TTU and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) graduate and undergraduate student participation, but also invites other regional university, college and even community college students to participate. Presentations are judged by faculty from participating departments and schools and cash awards are made to the most outstanding oral and poster presentations. This event continues to grow and in 2013 will be co-sponsored by TTUAB, ASM and the graduate student organization from Natural Resources Management (in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources).
The Department remains committed to finding new opportunities to support our graduate students and maintain an active recruitment effort by our faculty. Over the last six years we have successfully recruited and hired six new faculty, including two Senior Hires (and are currently involved in 3 additional searches at the Assistant Professor level) who continue to 6
build upon the on-going graduate and research efforts of our department. We will continue to try and recruit faculty who will become a vital and energetic component of our graduate efforts. Our goal remains to build upon the current strengths of our department while having the vision to move into new venues of research. The placement of eight of our faculty into the Experimental Sciences Building in 2005 has provided us with opportunities to develop new programs and to expand upon our current strengths that will likely lead to increased graduate enrollments.
Research and Teaching Opportunities
The Department offers opportunities for both basic and applied graduate research in all major fields of the biological sciences, including systematics and evolutionary biology, ecology and behavioral biology, cell and molecular biology, quantitative biology, and several areas of animal and plant biotechnology. Graduate students who have pursued Master's and/or Doctoral degrees have received competitive grants; made presentations at regional, national, and international scientific meetings; and published in highly regarded, peer-reviewed scientific journals. Many have gone on after graduation to have successful careers in medicine, teaching and research, government, and industry. Within Biological Sciences a graduate student can focus their research interests to specific areas of research expertise which includes behavioral ecology, population biology, cancer biology, community and landscape ecology, conservation biology, developmental genetics, endocrinology, entomology, evolutionary biology, mammalian systematics, marine ecology and fisheries biology, microbial ecology, microbe—host interactions, microbial genetics, molecular immunology, molecular systematics and evolution, molecular virology, parasitology, plant molecular and cell biology, plant molecular genetics, plant physiology, quantitative biology, science education, and threat reduction/nonproliferation of biological weapons. In addition, numerous joint research projects involving graduate students are being carried out in collaboration with other faculty across campus, including those located in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, the Museum of Texas Tech University, and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Other projects are being conducted with off-campus researchers in other regions of the United States and around the world, including such far-flung locations as Australia, Malaysia, Panama, Iraq, and the Ukraine. All of these interactions at the local, regional, national, and international levels provide opportunities for graduate students to enrich their research experience.
The number of Graduate Faculty in the Department as of September 2006 was 36, we currently have 40 (with two Instructors that have Graduate Faculty status for teaching purposes). Several of our faculty (e.g., San Francisco and Zak) over the all or part of the last six years have had extensive administrative obligations which has precluded their extensive involvement in graduate education. For the 2006 academic year the average number of 7 graduate students mentored by each faculty member was 3.1 (contributed by the smaller number of faculty). In the 2012 academic year, for which we there were an average of 3.2 graduate students mentored by each Graduate Faculty member. Over the last six years we have seen a loss of five senior faculty through retirement or resignations. This loss in senior faculty has contributed to some of our difficulties leveraging research funding over the last six years. Importantly, our graduate program has continued to grow (or at least stay relatively stable) as we hired new faculty and the remaining faculty have increased their graduate recruitment efforts. Financial support for graduate education comes primarily from teaching assistantships offered by the Department and research assistantships offered by individual faculty, depending on the availability of research grant funding. Currently, there are 81 TAs and 21 RAs among our graduate students. In addition, there are some 25 students that do not have support. The number of TAs needed in the department has increased over the last six years from 78 in fall 2006 to the current number, largely due to support from the College of Arts and Sciences’ recognition that our undergraduate enrollment in Biological Sciences (currently over 1100) continues to increase. However we probably need at least five more TAs to adequately cover the current number of labs. The department does not have the funds to provide more than a few RAs during the long semesters. Most RAs during the long semesters are provided by faculty through their funded research or from start-up for new faculty to recruit graduate students. In addition, the Texas Tech University/Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science Education Program, in conjunction with the Department, has supported at least three TTU/HHMI Graduate Teaching Scholars. These students, selected from a broad pool of applicants interested in future teaching careers, are evaluated by master teachers in the Department and also work with the University's Teaching Learning and Technology Center to enhance their teaching effectiveness. The number of RAs in the department varies across years depending upon funding success.
Graduate students have also been supported by scholarships and fellowships from various governmental agencies such as the EPA, through the Fulbright organization or from their home country. The number of students supported in this manner varies each year. Our graduate students are encouraged to apply for fellowships and dissertation improvement grants when possible. The department works to ensure that all students have at least some support during the summer and uses some of the Graduate Tuition funds to provide departmental RAs for one summer session. During the summer graduate students are also supported as TAs for our summer classes. We have been supporting up to thirty two graduate students as TAs during the summer. The majority of our graduate students are supported through faculty RAs during the summer (46 during 2012). Over the last six years, four of our graduate students have participated in the TEACH Program supported by the TLTC and the Teaching Academy. Moreover, the Department of Biological Sciences was recognized in April 2006 for our overall commitment and dedication to undergraduate and graduate education with the Department Excellence in Teaching Award. Funds from this award were used to renovate several rooms in our building that are conducive for graduate student offices (which with our large graduate student population can be hard to find),as well as to develop rooms to provide discussions between graduate students and their mentors, for small class discussions and to provide graduate students the means to meet with their peers and advisors 8 to work on manuscripts and proposals. All graduate faculty in Biological Sciences are actively involved in educational opportunities and training. To provide expanded opportunities to our graduate students we have been increasing the numbers of adjunct faculty who have graduate faculty status participating in our Department. For 2012, we have five adjunct faculty from the USDA-ARS Plant Stress Lab and the Texas A&M Extension Service associated with our graduate efforts. Other adjunct faculty are from the TTUHSC, as well as other universities (University of Iowa, University of Idaho, etc.)
In addition to mentoring by the major professor and members of their advisory committee, graduate students are assisted in their programs by: I) the Graduate Advisor and Program Coordinator, which is a tenured faculty member (currently Dr. Randall Jeter), 2) a graduate secretary (permanent staff member, currently Ms. Carol Espinosa) who maintains all records and notifies students of all issues involving the Graduate School, 3) an office staff member who assists all graduate students in enrollment issues (currently Ms. Lanita Ladd), 4) one of our Associate Chairpersons who coordinates all TA assignments and works with the graduate students and Chair to ensure financial support (currently Dr. Scott Holaday), 4) the Department Chair, who works to provide financial support for all graduate students as needed (and available), and 5) the Graduate Affairs Committee, who works to help resolve issues that arise during a student’s program in Biological Sciences. In 2004, one of our Graduate Faculty members, Dr. Lauren Gollahon was named a National Academies Teaching Fellow and Mentor. Outstanding teaching is highly valued at both the graduate and undergraduate levels at TTU and almost 25% of our present faculty in Biological Sciences have been recognized with President’s Excellence in Teaching Awards from the university.

G. Type of financial support available for graduate students
The Department relies heavily on Teaching Assistantships (TAs, we currently have ~85 per long semester). These students primarily teach laboratory sections, although about 10% are involved in prepping laboratories. Masters students receive almost $14,000 per 9 month appointment. Doctoral students receive about $1000 more over 9 months. We generally have between 28 and 35 TAs in the summer that teach and another 10 or so that are supported to help prep labs or work with faculty in developing courses.
There are Research Assistantships (RAs) available both from the Department and from faculty with extramural funds that have dedicated student salaries. They are typically paid at the same rate as the TAs, although they can be paid more if the faculty member so desires. Generally, the department will fund between 3-5 RAs for outstanding students that are in their final semester before graduation. These RAs are awarded on merit, based on performance in the classroom, in their research and service (such as to TTUAB or ASM). Most of these are awarded to doctoral students.

K. Programs for mentoring and professional preparation of graduate students
To aid new students in their adjustment to the responsibilities of graduate school, especially for incoming MS students, DBS requires that all incoming students take Lewis Held's BIOL 6202 "Graduate Teaching and Learning". This course is offered every Fall semester and covers important topics such as: 1) how to effectively do reference searches; 2) preparing an oral presentation using Power Point (and now Prezi); and 3) ensuring teaching lab and research lab safety (see Appendix H for syllabus). For all new Teaching Assistants and incoming students that have not had such a course on their transcripts or who have rather mediocre or less teaching evaluations, Stephanie Lockwood has developed a new course in "Biological Pedagogy" (BIOL 6301; see Appendix H for syllabus) starting in the Spring of 2012. It includes a reflective teaching approach and topics such as: 1) Classroom management and teaching controversial issues; 2) Bloom's Taxonomy; 3) Student motivation; and 4) Suchman Inquiry Teaching Model. This course has already begun to change the culture of graduate student teaching, as TAs have raised their evaluation scores by as much as 25%.
L. Department efforts to retain students and graduation rates.
The Department begins trying to retain graduate students from the first time they are admitted into DBS. Unless students already have a faculty member that is willing to minimally serve as their mentor on a provisional basis, they are not accepted into the program. Because of this, our dropout rate is low and few students 'drift' away from their labs.
With financial help from the Graduate School we have also increased our efforts to bring prospective students to the Department to visit and get to know the faculty and other students
Biological Sciences
51 in the program. Such a visit provides them the 'straight poop' on potential mentors and labs and helps alleviate misconceptions about TTU or Lubbock.
Once in the program, the Graduate Advisor (R. Jeter) in consultation with the Chair evaluates all graduate students on a yearly basis to insure that progress is being made in their respective programs and to provide a forum for addressing concerns that either they or the students might have. If and when interactions between a student and mentor become strained, the Graduate Affairs Committee and even the Chair can act as mediators to help resolve any such issues.
The Chair does provide travel support for students that want to travel to do field research or to present their findings at national or regional meetings, especially if the mentor does not have sufficient funds to do so. This helps the students realize that the Department is committed to their education and success.
M. Percentage of Full-Time Master and Doctoral students per year – Fall Data
Percentage of Full-Time Masters and Doctoral Students per Year – Fall Data Due to the demands of scientific research, very few of the graduate students in our program are not full-time. During 2006–2012, there were never more than one or two students who had part-time status in any given semester. Typically part-time graduate students are those who must divide their time between their studies and off-campus employment, or else they have completed all of their graduation requirements and received permission from the Graduate School to enroll for a reduced number of hours in their final semester before graduation. During 2006–2012, the percentage of full-time Ph.D. students in the Department has slowly but steadily increased from 55 to 67% of the total graduate enrollment for each year (fall semester data).

E. Scholarships and endowments
The Department of Biological Sciences currently has three endowed scholarships for graduate students. They are the J. Knox Jones Jr. Memorial Scholarship, the Rene Fonseca Memorial Scholarship and the Michelle Knapp Memorial Scholarship. They are all given to graduate students in the mammalogy program. J. Knox Jones Jr. was a Horn Professor in Biological Sciences. Dr. Jones was a one of the great mammalogists of his time; this scholarship supports up to 3 students at a level of up to $2,500 per year.
Rene Fonseca and Michelle Knapp were both graduate students that were part of Dr. Robert Baker's Mammalogy research group. Both were tragically killed in separate auto accidents. The Rene Fonseca Memorial Scholarship provides $500 per year to one or two students that are studying some aspect of mammalogy. The Michelle Knapp Memorial Scholarship provides $1,000 a year to a student that is studying some aspect of biology of bats or some other mammal.

VI. Conclusion
Normally each December the faculty gets together over a catered supper and discusses important matters. This year, with some difficult tenure and promotion decisions, a time consuming Space Survey and this Review, we have not had an opportunity to make it happen. We will be meeting in early January, however. At that time there will be several items that we clearly need to discuss. They are: 1) Research funding for the department; 2) Enhancement of graduate recruitment, especially at the PhD level; 3) Increased support for graduate students, including salaries, office space and travel support.
Research Funding Recent, newly implemented NSF and NIH policies have changed the game plan for many of our faculty. With the ability to only make one NIH resubmission and NSF's preproposal format, with limited numbers of proposals that any investigator can be a PI or Co-PI on, it is much more difficult to leverage funding. Furthermore, for the past biennium the Governor has largely done away with the Texas Advanced Research Program. Although funding does go in cycles, and in 2010 we had almost $3 million in grant awards, the past two years have been down. This is a real concern for the Dean, the Chair and the entire Department. It is clear that we will have to find different sources, perhaps foundations. In addition, we must increase our collaborative efforts both across the university and between universities. The Senior Hire program, while providing leadership to our research groups and younger faculty has not yet provided the increased funding that was hoped; unfortunately our Senior Hires face the same difficulty that the rest of us do with NIH and NSF. We are heartened by successes of some of our junior or recently tenured faculty, including Dr. Boyd Butler (NIH R15), Dr, Ximena Bernal (NSF), Dr. Tigga Kingston (NSF Network) and Kai Zhang (USDA).
Request: The University needs to reinstate dedicated funds for bridging that can support active research groups between grants.
Enhancement of Graduate Recruitment We have done somewhat better recruiting domestic students to our program, but often it is the same individuals that get the better U.S. students. This said, many of the international students that have applied and been accepted to the Department over the past 6 years have been excellent. This is especially true for groups of students on the 6th floor that have matriculated from Central and South America, several students in Microbiology from India and the Plant Molecular Biology group's recruitment of Asian students. We have been relatively stable at the 110-115 level for several years, fluctuating up and down slightly. Enhancing our website will help, and so will the recently introduced waiver for PhD students that only now need pay ~$700 per long semester if they have a TA. However, we definitely need to increase our graduate student salaries, especially at the PhD level (see below). We have been active in recruiting regionally, as various faculty members, including the chair have visited schools within a 350 mile radius that could provide students. During these visits, presentations regarding the research that the faculty member is doing as well as the Department itself are made. Such efforts are helpful, but so are having interested students visit. To that end, the Graduate School has made funds available specifically for such visits.
Request: Make even more funds available for recruitment, including invitations of groups of students that might comprise a cohort to visit.
Increase Graduate Student Salaries and other Financial Support
Biological Sciences 60
Currently, PhD students that are supported year round earn approximately $20,000. That needs to be raised at least 15% and would be much better if it were increased by 20%. We also need to completely waive all fees for PhD students. Lubbock is a very reasonable city to live in, and we need to emphasize that with such an increase, the quality of life for a graduate student can be better than in competing university cities and towns. We also need to renovate more space for graduate student offices, so as to house the students that we are trying to recruit. Requests have been made to the University, but as of yet have not been acted upon. We try and do a credible job of supporting graduate student travel to do field research or to present at meetings, offering up to $400 per trip. The Graduate School has funds that allow at least a 1:1 match in such circumstances and TTUAB and ASM also provided funds for their respective members. However, we could use even more funds to support such travel, as it allows our students to become known to peers and recognized for potential future jobs. Finally, we need to increase the number of Departmental RAs. These can serve as additional recruiting inducements for top students and as rewards for current students that have excelled.
Request: The University should provide additional funds for RAs both for recruitment and reward, and funds to renovate graduate student offices should be made available.
Perhaps our greatest strength in Biological Sciences is the sense of camaraderie that exists among most of the faculty and the graduate students. This provides opportunities for students to get diverse training across the multitude of biological disciplines. Our graduates appear to do extremely well in the job market, especially those from several labs (e.g., Baker, Bradley, Densmore, San Francisco, Zak), and these senior faculty must serve as examples for the younger faculty. It already appears that we have a renewed excitement in the Ecology, Evolutionary and Behavioral Biology group that will facilitate their graduates to be successful as well. Similarly, newer faculty in the Cell and Molecular Biology group (e.g., Butler, Xie and a prospective hire at the Assistant Professor level) seem to be excellent young scientists. We believe that with our collegiality, sense of cooperation and integrative approach to studying modern biology and the support of the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the upper administration, our future is a bright one.

APPENDIX B Curriculum Map
During the semester in the graduate program, the student will select the members of their Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee will meet to advise and assist towards the completion of the degree. The Committee will individually tailor the course plan to the student’s academic background, research interests, and career goals.
Requirements for completing the thesis MS degree include coursework (30 credit hours), a research thesis, and a final oral examination. A 36-credit hour non-thesis option is also available. The PhD degree requires 60 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate (including formal courses, seminars, and research credits), passage of a comprehensive qualifying exam (written and oral), and completion and oral defense of a dissertation.
The courses available in the Department of Biological Sciences cover a broad range of subjects spanning the diversity of life microorganisms through higher animals and plants, and all levels of organization from the molecule to the ecosystem. The diversity of courses available is further expanded by offerings in other departments in the College of Arts and Sciences (including Chemistry and Biochemistry, Environmental Toxicology, Geosciences, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics) as well as in other academic units of the University (such as the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, College of Engineering, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center).
An important decision is the choice of a thesis or dissertation topic, one that is both of interest to the student and complementary to their Major Advisor’s research program. Following discussions with their Major Advisor, the student will submit a research proposal to their Advisory Committee for their approval. Typically times for completion of the M.S. degree are 2-3 years and for the Ph.D. degree are 4-5 years.
The only prerequisite for every student entering the M.S. degree is BIOL 6202, which is Dr. Held's Preparation for Graduate Learning & Teaching in Biology. Ph.D. students that have had an MS degree and have taught and/or presented papers at national meetings may be exempted from this course. The other required course for Teaching Assistants (TA) is BIOL 6301 (section 025) Biological Pedagogy. This class is necessary for all starting students that want a TA that have not had a comparable class on their undergraduate transcripts.
Besides the above courses the only required courses for all graduate students are BIOL 7000 (research), BIOL 6000 (MS thesis), BIOL 8000 (dissertation). All other courses are considered optional electives, with the Graduate Committee being responsible for insuring that the students writes a suitable proposal for research and defends it, then does the research and finally defends it for the respective degree. If students do take these courses it is to bolster their backgrounds and allow them to pursue their research. Our graduate course offerings can be accessed in Appendix C at the following web site:

APPENDIX E Graduate Student Association(s)
The Department of Biological Sciences has two Graduate Student Associations. They are Texas Tech University Association of Biologists (TTUAB) and American Association of Microbiologists (ASM).
Texas Tech University Association of Biologists (TTUAB)
TTUAB has created a website located at www.biol.ttu.edu/ttuab/home.aspx. This student organization has been substantial component of the Department of Biological Sciences. TTUAB members who fulfill all requirements (dues and hours) are eligible for yearly conference travel expenses, Graduate Forum Awards, and Mini-Grant Awards. For example in 2007-2008, the TTUAB awarded $7000 in Mini-Grant Awards and paid over $9000 in conference travel expenses. They have created a yearly symposium that not only invites TTU and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center graduate and undergraduate student participation, but also invites other regional university, college and even community college students to participate. The event is named Texas Tech University Annual Biological Sciences Symposium (TTABSS). Presentations are judged by faculty from participating departments and schools and cash awards are made to the most outstanding oral and poster presentations. This year will be the third year of its creation. The growth of this event has perpetuated collaboration of TTUAB, Tech ASM and now the graduate student organization from Natural Resources Management will help with the 2012 TTABSS. TTUAB has received the Texas Tech University Student Organization of the Year Award in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Texas Tech Student Chapter of the American Society for Microbiology (Tech ASM)
The Texas Tech Student Chapter of the American Society for Microbiology (Tech ASM) is a student organization open to all Texas Tech students, regardless of major, and dedicated to promoting microbiology and Texas Tech University. This is one of 73 active student chapters in the United States and one of only three chapters in the state of Texas recognized by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the largest single organization devoted to the life sciences in the world. ASM currently has over 39,000 members.
Since its beginnings in 1977, the chapter has served Texas Tech University, the Department of Biological Sciences, and Tech microbiology students in a number of ways:
9
• Invited Lubbock numerous world-famous scientists, including Nobel Prize winner Max Delbrück.
• Our organization sponsors and provides funding for student members to attend ASM meetings and workshops at both the state and national level.
• Scheduled tours to microbiology-related operations, such as regional wineries, the sewage treatment plant, and the County Health Department.
• Sponsored intramural sports teams.
• Served the community by providing microbiology workshops in elementary and secondary schools in the area.
• Chapter members annually serve as judges in the South Plains Regional Science Fair.
• Chapter members offer tutoring to students taking microbiology classes and promote undergraduate research with microbiology faculty.
• Encourage informal interaction between students and faculty at all of our functions.

New Format for existing course
Fall TTU 2011
"Advanced Cell Biology," BIOL 5302-001. The delivery of content, such as standard lectures and students writing down the information, has been minimized. Such content is now available online on our Blackboard web site organized as detailed outlines and extensive PowerPoint presentations. In addition, other sources for similar content is promoted as free content from some of the top universities can now be accessed and viewed multiple times at the students' leisure outside of class. Now, face-to-face class time is focused more on problem solving and interspersed with shorter segments of lecture to re-enforce concepts with which students have the most difficulty. Assessment of student understanding is now achieved by for-credit problem sets that student work before class and then re-try within their cooperative learning groups in which students are organized into to smaller groups. Peer-to- peer discussion and feedback then identifies problem areas and solutions to the problem sets that are then re-submitted for final credit. Another innovation that helps to focus student learning on important concepts is the explicit introduction of 3 - 4 student learning objectives (SLOs) for each lecture period. The lecture information and problems are then organized around achieving each SLO. In addition, quiz and final exam questions are developed around assessing the achievement of these specific SLOs. For-credit problem sets were developed and are delivered via the Blackboard web site assignment tool. A short quiz designed to assess student understand of the problem set is administered via the Blackboard online quiz tool. In-class problem solving with my direct input and with peer discussion from cooperative learning groups forms the most important active learning that I employ. In addition, one entire lecture will be devoted to how cell biology discoveries in the laboratory are translated into cancer treatments in the clinic. That guest lecture will be given by my colleague Dr. Susan Bates, Head of Molecular Therapies, Clinical Oncology Branch, National Cancer Institute.

APPENDIX G
Teaching Post-Docs Program
In the Fall of 2003, Biological Sciences initiated a Teaching Post-Doctoral Fellows program. This program, the brainchild of Dr. John Zak, was initiated as a result of attending an NSF meeting in which individuals from large public and private universities and small colleges noted that many research post docs that were on the market were very uncompetitive when it came to their teaching skills. If one were going to just be at a Research 1 AAU university, this might not be a problem. However the vast majority of job offers are not at Research 1 universities, they are at colleges or universities where teaching is considered to be a very important component of tenure and promotion. Hence we have implemented a Teaching Post-Doc program where the individuals are instructors of record for one class per long semester and one summer session (if needed). The post-docs are typically paired with one of our best instructors for a particular course the first semester. These 'master teachers' work with the post-docs to share their experiences and methods for establishing teaching goals. This program has seemingly worked well, and in 2007 the TTU-HHMI Science Education Program helped support at least one of these Teaching Post- Docs. We now range between 4 - 6 per year. Generally the term of employment is 2-3 years. They are also expected to submit grants and pursue a research project. Virtually all of them have done very well in the job market following their tenure as a Teaching Post-Doc.

Reflective Teaching Expected Learning Outcomes: Being a GTA is one of many This course is all about responsibilities you might receive going to graduate school. Many of you application! I want have probably never taught before or have had limited experience or training. YOU to be able to directly apply and use 391 the information, resources, assignments now and in the future. This course aims to: 1) provide high-caliber, informative, and effective GTAs within the Department of Biological Sciences, and 2) provide diverse opportunities for biology GTAs that will facilitate the development of a solid foundation in teaching pedagogy that will assist you in meeting your current GTA responsibilities and provide preparation for careers in academia. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to:
Expected Learning Outcomes (cont.): 1. Compare different levels of thinking to learning outcomes and select the proper teaching methods and assessment tools. 2. Demonstrate different teaching strategies to create an engaging classroom experience. 3. Combine different techniques for effective classroom management. 4. Prepare lectures and discussions to engage students with different learning styles and teaching methods. 5. Assess your own teaching through reflective exercises. 6. Develop a teaching philosophy.

Grade Policy: Final grades will be based on the following scale: A = 90- 100%; B = 80-89%; C = 70-79%; D = 60-69%; F = 0-59%. All Teaching is a very personal assignments are due on the date assigned in the syllabus. Late experience and with these assignments will lose 10% of their possible value each day. (i.e. a 90 type of assignments there are point assignment will lose 9 points each day after the due date).

physician to receive an excused absence. I realize as grad students you have other responsibilities other than this class; therefore, I have established the following policy for unexcused absences (regardless of the reason for the absence):
Attendance (cont.): # of Unexcused Absences Grade Policy 0 - 3 absences No letter drop 4 - 6 absences One letter grade drop > 6 absences "F" for course
Religious Holy Days - OP 34.19: A student who intends to observe a religious holy day should make that intention known in writing to the instructor prior to the absence. A student who is absent from classes for the observance of a religious holy day shall be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence.
Criteria for Grade Determination: To assess the established expected learning outcomes listed above, I have developed the following assignments. I briefly describe the assignments below:
Earlier I made the statements that this course is all about application, and reflection and mentorship being major themes of the courses. All of the following assignments use the themes of reflection through mentorship and are designed for help you improve your teaching now, as well as for you to incorporate into your teaching portfolio in the future (except for the pre & post-assessment questions, which are for me to reflect and apply to the class).
Pre- & Post-Assessment Questions: These assignments will let me know what areas of teaching that you need help in and areas that you don't need help in. These assignments will evaluate your teaching confidence and concept awareness. The post-assessment also asks for your feedback about the course. This information is VERY valuable for the continual development of this course, as well as to ensure that I am doing all I can to help your success as a biology educator (GTA, instructor, etc). TLPDC Workshop: Taking this course will facilitate the development of a solid foundation in teaching pedagogy. To help your continual teaching pedagogy development you will also attend one seminars/workshops over in the Teaching, Learning, Professional Development Center (TLPDC) on your choice of a teaching topic. To see what seminars/workshops are available and to register go to the TLPDC's website (www.tlpd.ttu.edu). Once you have looked at the TLPDC's website, email me and ensure that the workshops are appropriate for this class.
Mentor Observations - In observing others teach, we gain new perspectives and ideas. During the semester your will observe two of your mentors while they teach. (25 x 2 = 50 points)
Reflective Teaching Assignments: Reflective teaching is an important component in teaching education and professional
393
development. Reflective teaching means looking at what you do in the classroom, thinking about why you do it, and thinking about if it works - a process of self-observation and self-evaluation. In this course we will use a combination of different techniques to allow GTAs to reflect on their teaching.
Teaching Self-Reflection – GTAs will be videotaped once this semester. In the beginning of the semester let your students know you're going to be video recorded to help improve your teaching, not because you're in trouble. Video recording are among the most objective observation techniques. Graduate TAs will watch their videos and complete the Teaching Self-Reflection.
Instructional Diagnostic (ID) Assignment (TAs) - Your mentors will come to your class and complete a instructional diagnostic (ID) with your class. IDs provide you information about your teaching/ class with feedback directly from your students mid-semester, this allows for your to adapt your teaching without waiting until the next semester. Once your mentor has completed the ID and given you the ID forms you will complete the ID assignment.
Reflective Teaching Journal (TAs) – Students will maintain a journal of their teaching experiences throughout the semester (bound notebook, label with name and course your teaching). Teaching assistants will make one entry (2 pages) per week (it is advised that students take 10 to 15 minutes immediately after teaching to journal). Each entry will include: on the left page: 1) Heading with date and lecture topic; 2) Description - Describe yourself as a teacher; Describe what happened in class; Describe how did the lecture went?, Describe your emotions/enthusiasm?, Describe student involvement?, Were you/materials prepared?, Any problems with students?, I tried to incorporate ______we learned about in class and it ______., etc.; and on the right page 3) Reflection - Reflect on the description from the left side of the page; What would you do differently next time?, What areas have you identified for improvement?, How would you handle the situation differently next time?, etc. (10 points per week x 5 weeks = 50 points) (5 entries) Teaching journals will be due every Friday by 3:00pm in the box outside my door.
Teaching Reflection Paper (Non-TAs) - Students will attend 3 different lectures by 3 different professors, instructors, or TAs to gain different teaching perspectives. Students will describe the different teaching styles, what works well for the teacher, and what doesn't work well for each observation. Finally, you will also consider what aspects you would like to include in your teaching and why. It might be beneficial to observe teachers outside of the department, so you don't focus on the "biology". If you would like to go outside of the department, get with me to schedule and find you a professor. The teaching reflection paper will 2 pages 1.5 spaced, 12pt font, times new roman, 1" margins.
Teaching Coaching Sessions: Because teaching is such a complex and demanding profession, it is important for new teachers to be provided with a support system that allows them to transition from theory to practice. During this session you will meet separately with the instructor and mentor (twice) to discuss how your teaching is going, as well as to receive tailored feedback on your teaching. The session with your instructor will reflect on the various teaching assignments: teaching journal, teaching reflections, and teaching video. It is YOUR responsibility to schedule this appointments with your instructor and mentor. (3 x 50 = 100 points)
394
These capstone assignments are designed to bring the entire semester together. The Teaching Philosophy assignment is designed for you to reflect on the semester and make you think about why you teach the way you do. The Course Design Project is intended to give you an opportunity to design a class and reflect on "why" you set-up the class the way you did.
Teaching Philosophy: A teaching philosophy statement is a narrative that includes: your conception of teaching and learning, a description of how you teach, and a justification for why you teach that way. Students will begin thinking about and developing their own teaching philosophies, therefore students will write a teaching philosophy statement. Faculty and TAs are often asked for their teaching philosophy for seeking academic appointments and are an integral part of teaching portfolios. Teaching Philosophy statements focus on your: 1) goals for student learning, 2) enactment of goals (teaching methods), 3) assessment of goals (measuring student learning), as well as how you 4) create an inclusive learning environment. Teaching philosophy statements are generally about 1 to 2 pages, your assignment will be will be no less than 1 page, 1.5 spaced, 12pt font, times new roman, with 1" margins. Turnitin: To turn in your teaching philosophy, you will submit it through Turnitin (www.turnitin.com). Use the following course information: Course ID, 5212565; Password, biologyGTA
Course Design Project - Designing a course can be a challenge for many professors. However, it can also very rewarding and give you a chance to create your dream class, fill a missing gap in your department, or be a component of your teaching portfolio. Students, with their mentors, over several weeks design a course and develop a reflective syllabus. A reflective syllabus includes commentary that explains the intentional, reflective choices about the activities, assignments, expected learning outcomes, overall course set-up, etc. Groups will then present their designed courses/reflective syllabi to the class and a group of judges will select the best designed course. The best designed course will receive the Semi-Annual Golden Apple Award. The project will be graded by a combination of the syllabus, the presentation, and peer evaluations.

Piazza: We will be conducting most class-related discussion on Piazza (www.piazza.com) this term. Piazza is a question-and-answer platform specifically designed to get you answers fast. The Web site supports LaTeX, code formatting, embedding of images, and attaching of files. The quicker you begin asking questions on Piazza (rather than via individual emails to a classmate or me), the quicker you'll benefit from the collective knowledge of your classmates, mentors, TA, and instructor. I encourage you to ask questions when you're struggling to understand a concept—you can even do so anonymously.
Student Accessibility: OP 34.22: Any student who, because of a disability, may require special arrangements in order to meet the course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make any necessary arrangements. Students should present appropriate verification from Student Disability Services during the instructor’s office hours. Please note instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodations to a student until appropriate verification from Student Disability Services has been provided. For additional information, you may contact the Student Disability Services office in 335 West Hall or 806-742-2405.
Classroom Civility: To create and preserve a classroom atmosphere that optimizes teaching and learning, all participants share a responsibility in creating a civil and non-disruptive forum. Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in this classroom in a manner that does not disrupt teaching or learning. Cell phones must be turned off at all times, unless you have informed me ahead of time that you are expecting an emergency message. Electronic devices such as iPads, laptops, etc. must be turned off during discussions.
Academic Integrity: OP 34.12: It is the aim of the faculty of Texas Tech University to foster a spirit of complete honesty and high standards of integrity. The attempts of students to present as their own any work not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty and administration as a most serious offense and renders the offender liable serious consequences, possibly suspension.
a) "Academic dishonesty" includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, falsifying academic records, misrepresenting facts, and any act designed to give unfair academic advantage to the student (such as, but not limited to, submission of essentially the same written assignment for two courses without the prior permission of the instructor) or the attempt to commit such an act.
b) "Plagiarism" includes, but is not limited to: Appropriation of buying, receiving as a gift or obtaining by any means, material that is attributable in whole, or in part, to another source, including words, ideas, illustrations, structure, computer code, other expression and media, and presenting that material as one’s own academic work being offered for credit.
c) Confidentiality – In the normal course of events, students in many of our classes come across confidential information. Such information should be treated with utmost confidentiality and should never go any further than the university classes in which our students are enrolled. Even within a university class, pseudonyms should be used instead of student’s real names. Information about teachers and other educators that we gain in field experiences and/or research should also be treated confidentially.
**The below schedule, policies, procedures, and assignments in this course are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances, by mutual agreement, and/or to ensure better student learning.**

FACULTY COMMENTS:
What do you consider to be the strengths of your graduate program(s)?
We provide an environment that is conducive to research, which includes people, resources and facilities. The cost of living associated with our region is attractive to graduate students. Historical successes, especially in some specialized topic areas (systematics, evolution, and mammalogy in particular), have resulted in well-known, highly-regarded research and opportunities for students. In recent years many of the faculty members have developed access to positions outside of traditional academia and this has greatly benefited our students. International collaborations on the part of faculty have brought many international students into the program and this is a source of strength. Quality of interaction with faculty, exposure to seminars and other opportunities, collegial atmosphere, support from uni with TAs, broad offerings in teaching, quality of faculty, blend of grad and undergrad research. Recruiting and graduating competitive students. We have a number of faculty who do organismal or whole organism work, based on specimens and field work. This is becoming increasingly unusual in departments which become dominated by molecular and medical research. We have a wide diversity of graduate students, both international and domestic, at both the Master's and doctoral levels. In general, faculty do a good job of mentoring graduate students and preparing them for their post-graduate careers. The department is able to provide financial support for almost all of the graduate students who need it. TA fellowship available, good lab facility, good opportunities in working from molecular biology to field biology. They create motivated, self-sufficient scholars. There are few strengths within our Graduate Program. I think the biggest strength of our program is the integrative nature of the Department; we boast expertise in most of the biological sciences, from organismal to cell biology and from systematics to behavior. One exceptional aspect of or program is the TTU Association of Biologists - our grade student organization. They are incredibly proactive and have won the award for best graduate student organization for 3 years in a row. No exceptional qualities come to mind. It is my opinion that we are a solid graduate research program that trains students very well. But overall, no identifiable strengths are easily distinguished from the rest of what I consider to be a strong graduate program. The majority of students are Ph.D. track. The other graduate students I was lucky to work with in my laboratory. We have highly diligent graduate faculty and students. The graduate coordinator does an excellent job. The courses taught by the biotechnology institute do an excellent job of training students for research in areas of molecular biology. Quality research and instruction by well-qualified faculty members; research support from the department whenever possible. Students still apply to come here for graduate school. The number of Ecology faculty with varying degrees of expertise. Most faculty and graduate instructors willing to aid graduate students in problems they encounter, whether it be research or classes related to help find a clear solution. A cadre of motivated grad students who serve as departmental leaders and role models to other grad students. 1. We have a high number of TA positions. 2. Facility and resources (space, equipment, etc) are adequate.

I am given the opportunity to choose and explore the research area that I wanted to study. The experience of some faculty plus the support from the Department to graduate students (through Teaching assistantships, travel funds, equipment, departmental vehicles). Also, I feel that there's a good communication between the authorities and the graduate students. Good course offerings in community ecology and animal biology. The faculty and their availability so student can reach them. My primary professor allows me great flexibility in my research goals and questions.
What changes, if any, could be made to improve the quality of your graduate program(s)?
I see no need for major changes. We could benefit from additional faculty with active research programs. This could expand opportunities for graduate students. Tuition reimbursement for grad students would allow us to attract higher quality students and compete with well ranked institutions. Our institution is one of the few at its level that does not provide full tuition reimbursement and several prospective students have mentioned this as a reason to decline coming here. Fewer piggyback courses, more summer support, higher salaries, funds to recruit grad students, more active faculty researchers. More RA support for students. Establish a large and easily accessible experimental research station for ecological work on the prairie. It would strengthen the graduate program to develop some additional courses at the graduate level so that the graduate students do not have to take so many combined undergraduate-graduate (“piggy- back”) courses. Graduate student stipends (teaching assistantships) are at the low end compared to other departments on campus and other Big 12 universities; finding a way to increase these stipends would make them more competitive for recruitment purposes. I believe the most important change would be to have 12 month stipends for the students as TAs or RAs. This gives them more consistent help during the summer months. Increase funds for at least some international travel to meetings to present invited talks. Making graduate students competitive in the job market, do not hire our own graduate students as teaching postdocs, and making sure that our graduate students publish in top journals. Fewer piggy-back courses/more advanced course development; decrease time to graduation, e.g., major professors should not force their grad students to secure all of their own funding before their projects can begin. RAs seem to have become a thing of the past, also. Applying for travel funding is a ridiculous pain in the behind. There needs to be a core graduate curriculum for all entering graduate students. Currently there are no core graduate courses required and each student takes what is mandated by their faculty advisor or committee. The requirements for entering students are too low and we need to increase those requirements. We also need to maintain that students who do not meet the current requirements are not allowed into the program. Currently, even if a student does not meet the entry requirements, that student will still be admitted if there is a faculty advisor willing to take them. There needs to be a hierarchy and evaluation regarding stipends as currently there are none. PhD students should receive stipends over masters. There are no evaluations done by faculty members of the teaching assistants. Consequently, there are many TAs who are inept in their teaching. We should not have Post-Doctoral fellows teaching graduate level courses. Only PhD faculty members should teach graduate level courses. There should be a time limit on the length support for graduate students. MS students should receive no more than 3 years TA or RA support and PhD student should receive no more than 6.5 years TA or RA support.
5
After that time, the PI for the student should be required to provide support. The thesis or dissertation Committee Chairs should not be the principal investigator in whose lab the student is working. This creates a conflict of interest as I have observed first hand situations where the PI/Chair removed members of a committee because those individual were being too difficult on the student, when in reality they were not. Related to the above, there should be paper requirements to receive a graduate degree. My suggestion is 1 for MS and 2 for PhD. Students should not be allowed to enter labs with little or no funding for research. The department currently has little extramural funding and yet we continue to admit students into the department and into labs because they receive TAs and the PI does not have to pay their salary. However, this leads to a serious problem related to the students' ability to do research. The departmental resources are minimal. This seriously hinders the students' ability to perform their research. Graduate student recruiting needs to improve. More research assistantships for the grad students. Also, more equitable distribution of workload between courses in which the graduate students TA. First, we desperately need better stipends (at least $2000 more per semester). Second, the number one complaint of my students is the administration’s lack of competency with regards to accurate and timely billing of tuition and fees and an apparent disregard for owning up to their mistakes. Third, piggy-back graduate courses (i.e., graduate students attend undergraduate lectures) are often ineffective, inefficient, and inadequate. Award teaching assistantships to students under faculty supervision based on the PI grant submissions. More job opportunity. The load of teaching assistants should be reduced. Graduate stipends should be made for competitive. More sophisticated equipment should be made available/accessible. The department and university should take a more serious approach toward safety facilities and equipment. The department chair should take greater responsibility for contingency support for supplies and chemicals required to allow graduate students to finish their research. A central equipment facility for the department is long overdue. Graduate office space should be expanded. Facilities for graduate lunch or break rooms should be made available. More financial assistance (RAs/TAs). Additional resources for teaching; most dedicated to incoming faculty, many of whom are not as productive as anticipated. Establish a core curriculum for graduate students within each of the areas of emphasis within the department. Currently, we only have one required course and no stand-alone graduate courses except for Special Topics that are offered at the whim of individual faculty. Do not allow our graduate students to teach graduate sections or to teach undergraduate courses for which they are unqualified. Much more clear guidance and planning from the upper administration on funding for research. Any changes to research funding policies occurring "in the middle of the semester" have a very severe impact on graduate student research. Some grad students are clearly more productive than are others, and more effective TAs than are others, yet there is no reward structure for this. 1. Lack of external funding (therefore F & A return). It severely limits the growth of our graduate program and our ability to recruit top tier applicants. / 2. Shortage of stand-alone graduate courses (too many piggy-back courses). Some courses (e.g. Biol 6202) are outdated and should be eliminated. Dr. Lockwood's class should not be mandatory. Also, there should be better office space for graduate students/TAs. I know that money is a concern everywhere, but I feel a little unfair that TA's just have economical support for 10 months. Usually summer time is critical and there are not a lot of opportunities available to teach or to work in campus and we need to pay tuition, bills, rent, and food. In case of international students is even worse because it is not possible to work out of campus. Texas Tech wants to reach the Tier 1 status but it's hard to be more competitive and productive when the economical part is a critical
6
issue every year. In my department I feel that some Faculty should be more productive and offer new courses every semester in their field of expertise, not to send them to teach general classes to cover faculty gaps. I have had excellent courses and seminars but also bad and poor courses in Texas Tech. If TTU wants to be Tier 1 it is imperative to hire more qualified faculty. We need to waive tuition in order to attract quality applicants. All other graduate programs that are comparable do this. Furthermore, we need to make applications for scholarships transparent and available during application so we can use them as a recruitment tool. It is really a relief if there is an adequate stipend or if the tuition is fully waved. Then graduate students can just think about their research without having stress about their living here in US. It is very difficult for international students to live here with this stipend after paying the tuition. Graduates of Biological sciences are strongly in stressed since they have to manage 12 months with having only 9 months stipends. Believe it is very difficult. More discussion seminars. Fewer graduate students per lab. There is not enough time spent with the faculty. Provide the biology department with more funding to employ their TAs and RAs throughout the academic year. That includes the summer terms.
Please feel free to add any additional comments or questions in the space below.
Good luck Dom.....there is plenty to do. In the DBS, it is very difficult for most of the grad students to defend within a reasonable timeframe, because they are expected to secure their own funding, teach, do their research plus help their lab mates with their fieldwork/bench work/writing, present at least 3 times per year, do well in their coursework, and publish, while also building their CVs in other ways, such as judging science fairs, mentoring undergrads, participating in campus-wide groups, etc. There are serious issues related to the Biological Sciences graduate program. The lack of any core curriculum presents a serious problem. This requires that new classes are created for graduate students to take in order for them to fulfill their classroom requirements. I think there should be less personal or political agendas and more collegial interactions between faculty members. No one division is more important than the others. Yet it seems there is more divisiveness and underhandedness. This could possibly be attributed to a lack of strong, clear leadership. Faculty will not be encouraged to take calculated risks and recruit high quality students if the department and university do not take responsibility for contingency support for graduate research supplies when faculty are between grants. Furthermore, sudden and drastic withdrawal of such support by the department chair is not only capricious but seriously jeopardizes graduate research and the careers of graduate students. Nothing will ever change here. There is an alarming trend within our department of graduate students teaching upper level electives and junior/senior level core courses to our undergraduates instead of faculty. They also teach the graduate section of "piggy-back" courses even though a faculty member is listed on paper. Our teaching-postdoc program, which are freshly minted Ph.D.s from our department are given courses to teach for which they were not trained in. For example, a new Ph.D. graduate from our program taught a junior level Parisitology course including the graduate section though her research and classroom training was in Ecology. The rationale was that we had no faculty to teach this course and it was important to make it available to undergraduates. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. There needs to be much more professionalism from all levels of the administration, as well as faculty,
7
staff, and graduate students as a whole. 1. The department must place a much stronger emphasis on securing external grants/contracts. It should be included as a key criterion for tenure and promotion. Right now, our policy on tenure/promotion from assistant professor to associate professor does not require external funding. So assistant professors can be tenured and promoted even when they have no funding, as long as they submitted proposals and have publications. This is unacceptable for a STEM department and has to change if we are serious about improving the graduate program and helping TTU achieve Tier-one status. As the very least, assistant professors should bring in 2x more external grants than their start-ups. More is expected from associate professors who are applying to be full professors. One of the things I like most about this department is the collegiality among my colleagues. But to move forward, we must have strike a fine balance between having a high standard and maintaining a friendly environment. / 2. More transparency is needed on issues such as departmental budget, the hiring of teaching postdocs or other staff positions, faculty teaching load, etc. The information on the department and graduate school websites is poor. We do a very poor job in recruiting. Lubbock is a hard sell to many students. I am competing for good students with other universities, but TTU offers very little to students to draw them other than the draw of my lab. Furthermore, in my department we have some major gaps in expertise which make it difficult to recruit students in my particular field. It is a huge help for students (especially international students) if you increase stipend or at least give 12 months payments or reduce wave tuition totally. Banana phone.

STUDENT COMMENTS:
What do you consider to be the strengths of this program?
Professors, resources, size of the program. The faculty and staff are very helpful and informative. The department seems to work together well, even though it is separated by areas of study. The biology pedagogy class has been very informative with teaching for the first time. Interesting, I can understand more knowledge. Molecular biology. The professors are great and students are great. Ease of Contact with certain Faculty / Strong support for Graduate Community / I found most of the faculties are friendly and willing to help the students, which is a definite plus point. Diversity - the department houses many sub disciplines of biology making it easy to find professors or students that have a particular expertise. If I have a problem there is someone I can talk to in order to work toward a solution. / / Faculty - the faculty that I interact with are supportive, both in academia and with personal problems Wide variety of faculty and courses offered; relatively good course experiences for the most part; There are no strengths. The general academic atmosphere of DBS is very supportive and faculty seem to get along and help promote all students in the department. Constructive feedback regarding one's research is readily available. DBS works within limitations set by the administration to support its students as much as feasible. The graduate student organization, TTUAB, helps promote camaraderie and a supportive environment among a diverse group of students. The support from the Department (authorities, faculty, staff and graduate students) and the quality of some professors. Respectable department; Not enough pay as a TA/RA but decent enough; Good teaching faculty. There is a general camaraderie amongst the grad students, which is helpful in learning new techniques, completing research, and as a general support system. Quality of the Faculty. Availability of teaching as well as research opportunities / Opportunity to select or reject major advisor after the start of the program / Opportunity to attend other national & international conferences I expect the program will help me to gain vivid knowledge in the filed in which I am interested. The faculty are all very nice and seem to get along well without any noticeable rivalries. There are constant announcements about seminars within and outside of the department. Two weekly seminars are held. There is a class for new teaching assistantships while has been a tremendous help. My department fully supports its students and that makes us more confident in everything we do. Great faculty The professors and available courses in the department. I think there is a strong core of students in my area of research, which provides a strong base to ask questions.
11
What do you consider to be the weaknesses of this program?
Overcomplicated procedures and formalities, amount of coursework. May not be able to find a job Piggy-back courses are terrible. Also, there isn't a real "program". Most large Universities have programs that you apply to and all the students accepted into that program everyone is required to take a few of the same classes to serve as a baseline. Then there are rotations with various professors in their labs to help you figure out what you want to do. This was the only University that required me to locate my own major adviser first before applying to the Graduate School. We do not have adequate access to high impact scientific journals, the stipend for teaching assistantship is fairly low, the department does not offer many of the required courses for the graduate students, the department does not offer a lab rotation system for the graduate students. TA/RA Assignments - the department has been working toward a solution to this problem for a while, but I think external support would help. Perhaps setting up some kind of criteria would be beneficial. The rumor is that students with the loudest advisors get the most support, e.g. RAs during the summer. Setting up an objective system would help solve some of these ill feelings. / / Graduation Criteria - This is a serious issue. Some students graduate with little effort while others work very hard. Granted, these differences should be apparent to employers, but it is no less frustrating. I know that many of these differences are dependent upon the student's committee and chair, but it's frustrating to know that you're doing multiple analyses on multiple data sets while a fellow student defends a dissertation consisting of a single, simple statistical analysis. That is one example, another would be publishing. Some courses too old-fashioned lecture & exam heavy for a graduate or cross-listed undergrad/grad class, would like to have some more interaction or grade based less on 2-3 exams. Several courses are offered as one-off, special topics courses with low student caps, which are sometimes not announced far enough in advance the previous semester to be able to consider taking them. This makes it hard to plan ahead to take some courses which may be useful, but which have either already been filled by the time you hear about them at the beginning of the semester they are offered, or because you cannot alter your class registration because teaching assignments have already been given and those can't be changed at that point. This program has many flaws... / 1. There an adequate number a classes to take. My major professor must teach a new class every semester so that I can fill my schedule. / 2. The classes that are offered tend to be subpar with only a few exceptions. My undergraduate classes at a different school were more demanding. / 3. There is not a defined set of guidelines or orientation for incoming students. This program requires a semester long course to fill students in when a week would suffice. / 4. There is no core curriculum in place and classes are not offered every year or even every other year. / 5. Thesis committees are a joke. The necessary requirements as far as research data are extremely lax. There is no first author paper requirements. The major advisor is allowed to be the chair of the committee which is not in the best interest of the student. / 6. The staff is incapable of doing their jobs in a timely and efficient manner and are not able to answer basic questions. The most limiting component of our program is financial support. Our 9 month salaries put us well below the poverty line, prevent us from having an income source during the summer, and force us to go into considerable debt to successfully achieve our career goals. Having to pay tuition each semester certainly does not help the situation. Lack of transparency regarding how funds are distributed among graduate students is also an issue although the administration has been working with the graduate student body to fix this. Some professors in the department. Poor research facilities; Less money spent on infrastructure of the labs (this includes safety measures too); Not enough funding to fund the graduate students' TA throughout the year. Significant lack of qualified TAs at the moment, which makes it difficult to spend time completing
12
our own research because we spend the majority of our time as lab TAs. In addition to being overworked in that sense, we are not fairly compensated for the additional hours that we put in to making sure TA assignments are completed well and appropriately. Information regarding recent pay scale changes for TAs was NOT adequately disseminated, and grad students could not make informed decisions about their willingness to increase work load as a result. Part of this is departmental policy, a large part is upper administration. And this is unacceptable. There are not financial resources to develop the research in the lab. In the lab we do not have all the equipment and reagents that we need to be more productive. Sometimes the needed courses are not offered for many years / resources are not enough and cutting- edge, which makes the requirement to go to the other departments or out of the university for the arrangement. The program lacks lab rotation facility. It is important as it provides a platform for students to get to know different research fields and then figure out their specific interest. There should core lab facility open for all students so that they are not restricted by the equipment availability. I have not been in the program long, so I have not experienced much. I do, however, wish that I could readily contact some of my other professors. I spent a week trying to get in touch with a professor who does not have an email address and is not present in his office during any of his office hours. While this professor is definitely helpful when questioned after class, the class is only once a week. None Limited class choices each semester Orientation for students starting in the spring semester needs to be improved. The program only recently has started to offer a variety of courses in my area of research. Unfortunately, these courses did not come about until the past year or so, which was untimely in my
program.
What changes, if any, could be made to improve the quality of this program?
Decrease coursework, streamline forms/procedures for graduate students once they arrive. Improved welcome packet. More job opportunity Group professors into different "programs". This could be interdepartmental. This will allow new graduate students to rotate around in other labs to gain experience in various subfields of your field. / / More graduate only classes with relevant, new subjects. Most of the professors now are very familiar with the classical side of things. Logistical arrangements of class times/lab spaces. Increase the stipend or waive the tuition for at least PhD students, offer more courses, increase the accessibility of different scientific journals in library, implement a lab rotation system like many other universities, so that the students can have a better understanding about the faculties before getting into a particular lab. I know that creating an objective rubric can have positive as well as negative implications. There will always be situations in which the criteria cannot be followed completely. But, by having a set of criteria, it will eliminate some of the problems and ill-will that exists among graduate students (and faculty for that matter). For example, if you have X publications (not notes) then you can apply for a summer RA. Or, you get an RA if your average student evaluation score is greater than X after 4 semesters, etc. I know this seems silly, but it rewards the students that are doing good research and putting forth effort in their teaching. And it encourages faculty to push their students to work harder, instead of complaining until they finally get better appointments for their students. Overall, it would
13
make the system seem fair and potentially help students to feel appreciated. Make more graduate courses less reliant on 2-3 exams only for grades (more discussion, or other interactions would be beneficial). Announce special topics courses far enough in advance the previous semester before students start registering. Some special topics courses should be offered on a regular basis (though not necessarily every semester, but maybe every other year) so that new students don't miss out on an important topic that would be beneficial and so they can plan ahead to take it when it is offered again. Keep graduate students abreast of changes in assistantship availability and stipends offered, and make it more clear what criteria are used to award TAs--but do not tell students what *may* happen if you don't know, since many of those changes and/or "promises" never seem to materialize. To suspend the program, bring in new leadership, actually look at a school that has a teir one research program and design the program off of theirs, and to define specific research goals for the department. Stipends should be increased as well as admission standards. Advisors should only be able to except students based on the funding of the lab. Offer competitive 12 month salaries. Provide greater access to on-line journals. Provide competitive and transparent RAs/travel grants based on merit and not arbitrary factors (e.g. how loud a particular faculty advisor can yell). Limit support for unproductive graduate students. Offer graduate scholarships exclusive to biological sciences or proportional to the amount of productivity of particular disciplines in terms of publications/presentations. I would balance the amount of work and research opportunities among graduate students. Some students have research assistantships and don't teach whereas other have to teach two or three sections per semester. There's a lot of pressure for us to make research, to be competitive, to publish, to have good grades, to be a good teaching assistant... so it's important to keep students motivated to accomplish their goals during the program time. / Also, graduate students who depend on teaching assistantships face a big problem every summer because there's not enough opportunities for everyone and in case of international students (a big component in our department) is even worse because we're not allowed to work outside of the university and we need to pay tuition, health insurance, research expenses, rent, bills,.... without that support it's harder to be more competitive. Need to increase the resources to improve research that is being done. Department and administrative staff need to be significantly more transparent when sharing information that is DIRECTLY relevant to graduate student livelihood and well-being. Funding the labs, giving internal grants from the university to improve research. Give an equal amount of TA assignments to all students, so we can do more research. Give RAs assignments to all students during the Summer sessions (including both). Motivating graduate students by acknowledging the deserving students and giving necessary (can be mild) penalty for the slack ones. / Motivating the faculties by providing them with cutting-edge technologies in their field of research. / Encouraging graduate students to focus just on the studies keeping their mind aside of the financial burdens (certain increment in annual stipend may be good in yearly basis). / Strictly enforcing the time frame for graduation. / Improving the quality of product i.e. the graduates and their work, my better monitoring. If the above weaknesses are taken care of it would be very good. While I find the weekly departmental seminar very interesting and beneficial, I think the room should be scheduled for a longer period of time. I know that classes have to be held in the room, but many times the speaker has talked over time and is unable to answer questions. I have not personally experienced the variety of classes available to finish a degree, but I have heard that the selection is not particularly great (take that for what it's worth I guess). More faculty on ecology and evolutionary biology. None More classes available each semester
14
Student orientation in the spring as well as in the fall. I think the program needs to make some drastic efforts to offer additional graduate courses, more so in application and theory as opposed to "advanced" versions of undergraduate courses. Although some of these are necessary, a stronger variety of classes are needed to differentiate the undergraduate programs from the graduate programs. Also, a stronger effort needs to be placed on graduating students in a timely manner. Although the time needed to a complete a graduate degree and the research varies drastically depending on the field, there have been many students that have taken 6+ years for Master's degrees, which limits opportunities for the future students. The final thing is that the supporting core facilities need to drastically improve, both in resources and support staff. This would bring Biology and similar departments into competition with other research-1 universities.
Please feel free to add any additional comments below.
Overall this is a great University, the students and professors here are great. I would like to see more "strategic hires" though with relevant research in Cell and Molecular Biology. There are very few classes in that field (maybe 2?) and this is such an important field that students across the country are lining up to study (cancer treatments, etc.). New professors would greatly improve the selection of classes. Texas Tech, student business services is the major problem of the university and is the main reason I advise other potential graduate students not to attend TTU. Aside from charging graduate students tuition which many Universities do not, the university also requires tuition be paid prior to applying scholarships. The university has to realize we, as graduate students, who make 1200 - 1600/ month just cannot afford this. It is absurd and I firmly believe it is so they can make interest off of our money prior to refunding us. The alternative to not paying full tuition is a $25 deferment plan - why not just get my tuition bill correct to begin with so i may save myself $25 and I can make the interest on MY money? / / I truly wish I felt as if TTU valued it students, especially graduate students...we do most of the research and deserve better benefits and have our money treated respectfully. I know other Texas Universities are able to defer tuition costs, and have higher stipends for students and those are the ones that will be attractive to incoming graduates. Additionally, as a biologist Lubbock and the surrounding area is nearly impossible to work in the field, therefore, TTU must come up with more inventive ways of attracting students. Most obvious is $. I am personally, looking very much forward to graduating and leaving the area in hopefully the very near future. We have a great department and I appreciate everything it does to support the students and faculty. However, there is always room for improvement. By setting up a more objective "reward" system for graduate students (e.g. RAs), I believe it will solve at least a few problems that exist between students and the administration, and between the students themselves. Overall, satisfied with Biology program, but could use some minor improvements. At a university level, Student Business Services issues and errors need to be reduced significantly. Not a single graduate student in my department has not had a major issue with mistakes on SBS' part which ultimately put the student in a financial bind, even though it was the university's fault. Many of the same problems crop up every semester, and should not be occurring at a school that claims to want Tier I status. I attended an undergraduate Tier I institution, with a 10-25% larger student body, and had no major problems there, nor did any graduate student I know have major issues. I consider the sheer abundance of mistakes on tuition statements, fee waivers, overcharges & over awarded financial aid to be unprofessional at best. I am in my second year, and there has been a major issue with my student account every semester. This semester, SBS did not finish resolving my account issues until about 60 days after the semester had started, which is closer to 90 days since I paid my account. In general, I have not been able to reliably budget ahead of time how much money to set aside for tuition and fees

and when to pay them, as the timing of fee waivers and how much of the tuition/fees get waived seems to vary widely by semester, while the deadline for payment does not change. This department has ignored most of the comments from the last accreditation and it shows. It would help if the upper administration realized what it really takes to become a Tier 1 program in terms of graduate student support. Nearly no Tier 1 program makes PhD students pay tuition, offers 9 month stipends, and or limits resources to the labor force that produces a majority of research and academic outreach for a university. I don't know if this is a good place to complain but I feel that SBS and the people in charge to deal with Health insurance for the students have done an awful job this semester. This is not fair to the Texas Tech community and students, like me, that came here to improve our education and work for this institution. Want to see Texas Tech take a lift to tier one by producing quality graduates at the same time (not merely by enrolling a large number of students and brag about that).
