Seminar in Biomedical Sciences (MSBS591A) – 1 credit
Course Description: Chee-Gun Lee, Ph.D (MSB E617b, leecg@umdnj.edu)
Faculty representing programs and departments in the GSBS will be invited to present their research and engage in discussion with the class. Students are given a paper to read one week prior to faculty presentations and one group of students is assigned to act as hosts and to lead discussion each week. All materials and papers can be found on the GSBS-Newark website.
Evaluation:
Student evaluation is based on classroom participation and a paper (3-5 pages) to be submitted by December 10, 2008, summarizing one of the presentations and proposing future experiments in the field, in the form of one Specific Aim. Attendance at each seminar is expected – if you miss a session you are required to write a two-page summary of the assigned paper.
