Goals
This 1-credit seminar is designed to promote the professional
development of ICS graduate students [Casanova].
ICS graduate students improve their professional development by:
- giving presentations on their own work, to
- practice doing presentations (verbal communication skills)
- encourage the performance of meaningful work that can be presented
(research or project work)
- get to know each other (networking)
- give the student feedback on their work (improvement of skilsl)
- the instructor giving presentations, to provide
information that may be useful for career and graduate studies
Reading material may include:
- Cresswell's Research Methods (Spring 2006)
- Dee's Building a Successful Career in Scientific Research (Fall
2006)
- Levin's Relating Statistics and Experimental Design : An
Introduction (Spring 2007)
- Haugh's Scientific Method in Practice (Fall 2007 and Spring
2008)
- visiting speakers and UH faculty
giving presentations throughout the semester
- a get-together at 5:45pm on the first Thursday of every month to
stimulate social interaction. All ICS (and CIS) graduate students and
faculty are invited.
Grading
To pass this course, students must give a presentation of their
own work, and attend at least 10 of the sessions, with the following
exceptions:
- Ph.D. students who are ABD only need to attend 5 of the sessions.
- M.S. students need to give the presentation once during their
time as an M.S. student, and not necessarily in the semester in which
