Weekly Discussion Sections & Readings
Group 1: Friday 1:00 - 2:00 PM, BASS 405
Group 2: Monday 12:00 - 1:00 PM, BASS 405
The first discussion section will meet on 1/29/2016 (Group 1) and 2/1/2016 (Group 2).
Format
In each section, we will have a discussion of two papers assigned below.
Exact format will be determined based on the size of the class. However, tentatively, we require the following
Students are expected to bring approx. a half page (2-3 paragraph) summaries of each paper to the section. (we will collect a hard copy during each session, but if you'd like to save some trees, we will accept electronic submission. Please submit PDF to cbb752@gersteinlab.org BEFORE each section).
Students will give approx. 15 min presentations about each paper. (To sign up for presentations, see the spreadsheet below)
Students will be graded on a combination of the written summary, presentation, and participation in discussions.
