EEB XXX: [Course number TBD] NEW COURSE - IN DEVELOPMENT FOR FALL 2014
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 present each week to discuss a given topic. This is a new course and we seek input on what topics we should include.
Meeting time: TBD, possibly Tuesdays 4-5
Location: TBD
Course coordinators: Elizabeth Jockusch, Chris Elphick
Tentative syllabus (subject to change)
