EEB 5100 (Planning for a career in EEB) - FALL 2018
This 1 credit seminar course is intended to provide orientation information to incoming EEB graduate students, although it is open to other students; we strongly advise new students to take it. The course will meet for about an hour a week, with 2-3 faculty or a small panel of other EEB-connected people discussing a given topic each week.
Meeting time: Tuesdays 3:45-5
Location: Bamford Room (Torrey 171B)
Course coordinators: Elizabeth Jockusch, Chris Elphick
Grading: This course is graded on an S/U basis. Regular attendance and participation will result in a grade of S.
NOTE THAT THE SCHEDULE IS STILL BEING FINALIZED - DON'T TRUST ANYTHING IN THE TABLE BELOW ...
Tentative syllabus (subject to change)
Useful readings:
