Graduate Seminar

3 credits · Graduate

This seminar is geared toward developing “critical thought” and aims to help candidates respond across a broad spectrum of topics. The seminar functions to generate debate on various (frequently contentious) issues, to promote interaction with faculty members and other students across the entire Faculty, and to act as a platform for presentations by the students themselves and invited speakers. Each PhD student is expected to give two 50 minute presentations. One presentation is on a topic agreed upon by the student and the course coordinator, and the other is relative to the student’s thesis. This is a PASS/FAIL course. Prerequisite(s): Admission into the PhD NRES program
