Students must attend all discussion sessions and read all papers that pertain to that speaker prior to coming to class. The class will be divided into small groups for discussion and will present the results of the discussion to the rest of the class.
Students who fail to attend discussion sessions must read all papers and write an acceptable one-page (single-spaced, 12 point, .7 inch margins) discussion of the major points for each paper. These papers should be submitted to the faculty member who presented the speaker--see
email addresses above.
Students must attend all public presentations and two chalk talks. Students who fail to attend a public presentation may
check out a DVD of the talk and write an acceptable one-page paper on the seminar. This paper should be sumbitted to the faculty member who is hosting the speaker (see email addresses above).
Chalk Talks: Students enrolled in GENET 591 only.
