Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Panel presentations will focus on specific issues such as ethics, etiquette, and the culture of research. Students attend weekly, fifty-minute discussions and have the opportunity to ask the speaker questions following each presentation. This course may be repeated for credit (1 credit/quarter-3 quarters max); speakers and topics will vary.
Recommended preparation
Public Welcome! Bring your lunch to Odegaard Undergraduate Library Room 220 and enjoy the presentations.
Class assignments and grading
The handouts each week will ask you to take notes during the lecture and to respond to questions related to that topic. We encourage you to attend all lectures and take notes during each lecture, in order to be best prepared for your final quiz. The final quiz will consist of 10 questions selected at random from the collection of questions given by each presenter. You will not know in advance of the quiz, which questions will appear on the final exam. To pass this course, you will need to answer correctly 7 of the 10 questions on the quiz.
