- Course Summary
The purpose of the Graduate Seminar in Biochemistry &
Cell Biology is two-fold:
- For each student to share information about the research being
undertaken in his/her thesis project and receive scientific
feedback;
- For each student to practice and improve communication
skills for giving seminars, lectures, job interviews, etc., and receive
feedback on his/her presentation.
For second year students, the first written progress report is due
at the beginning of the third semester of study (September 1), and
must be provided to the research advisor by August 15 to enable
time for feedback. The progress review that would be held at the
end of the fourth semester is replaced by the Admission to Candidacy
exam (A-exam). Starting in your third year in the PhD program, your
written progress report is due to your advisor 2 weeks prior to
your seminar, and the 4 original copies of the final version, incorporating
your advisor's comments, are due in the department office 1
week prior to your seminar.
