Scientific Discourse

Catalog description

Graduate students will learn and improve upon their skills in presentation and debate of primary scientific data. The course will take the format of student presentations about their own ongoing research to their peers. Students will be expected to actively participate in the presentation of others through discussion and critical evaluation of the work presented. General presentation skills and strategies will be covered and feedback will be provided to students on an individual basis. All levels of graduate students are welcome and those without a significantly advanced research project may, at the discretion of the instructor, present current literature related to their research topic.
