Physics 599 Graduate Research Participation Seminar

The course introduces new graduate students to the current research interests in the physics department. There will be about 12 short seminars given by our Faculty. In order to facilitate the efficiency of participation each student is required to:

1. Complete a confidential survey indicating the individual interests and preferences of speakers. The name of each student is strictly kept confidential.

2.  Turn in a short paragraph before a seminar that consists of two parts. (1) What major research topic(s) of that day’s speaker may be of interest to you. (2) Any new perspective that you have learned from the previous week’s speaker. What you will submit is also kept confidentially.

3. A forum of free discussion at the end of the semester.

      You may be excused for no more than 2 seminars. Attending the last discussion forum is also mandatory.
