Information for the Carter Lab
INTRODUCTION Welcome to Dr. Carter’s Wildlife Biology Lab at Ball State University. While the majority of my personal research has been focused on the Chiropteran and small mammal communities, I am open to research ideas on any terrestrial vertebrates. The majority of my research studies do have a strong land management and or endangered species focus. OBJECTIVES OF THE LAB I have three main goals for students that come through my lab: 1) Learn to conduct sound scientific research, 2) train students to think critically and independently, and 3) to produce high quality publications and theses. PHILOSOPHY My philosophy as a professor and advisor is to guide students through the learning process by teaching them how to learn and much as what to learn. While each student is different, I prefer not to micromanage students. Instead, I most often leave students to manage their time as they see fit. I do however, expect that work will get done in a timely manner and that all deadlines will be met. WORKING IN MY LAB
