Honors Science Seminar: Preparation for Advanced Study

Catalog description

Students in this seminar will prepare to succeed in the next phase of their education — whether that means graduate school, a professional program, or other career options — by learning about the ways that culture and expectations change as one moves into settings of advanced training, and issues that sometimes arise as people make the transition. In-class discussions will focus on papers selected by the students and faculty, feedback from recent alumni, and experiences of RIT graduate students. The course will include oral presentations from students and faculty, as well as visiting speakers. Students will continue to develop their professional communication skills by preparing their own oral presentations and written assignments based on the course readings and independent research.
