The purpose of this workshop is (at least) three-fold 1.) By actively engaging in the workshop both as a presenter and a prepared and vocal participant, a student improves his or her ability to organize thoughts and to discuss ones' own and other research. 2.) Participation in the workshop allows the student to associate, correct, or avoid similar problems in one's own research, and to learn appropriate presentation and research skills by observing and engaging others. 3.) Participation in the workshop provides the student with feedback on his or her own research in a relaxed, but formal, setting from student colleagues and multiple faculty members who may or may not be dissertation committee members. In addition to the required presentation of own research at least once during the semester and weekly active participation, we encourage preliminary oral exams (defense of the prospectus) and final oral exams (defense of the dissertation) for applied micro students to be scheduled as part of the workshop. Exams have priority for scheduling and so there may be changes to the order in which students present. Since the times of the exams must accomodate the schedules of faculty on the committees, some of the workshops might be scheduled outside the usual workshop time and some regular attendees might be unable to attend. Also, there may be scheduling conflicts that necessitate using a conference room in which case only the committee members and student being examined would be able to attend. The schedule is listed below. Dr. Gilleskie will update the schedule as needed. It appears that none of us have conflicts from 12:00 - 12:50 MWF, 12:30 - 1:45 Th, and 2:00 - 3:15 Th. We plan to meet for an hour at noon on Wednesdays unless (a) there is a faculty meeting at that time in which case we would meet at noon on Monday or Friday or 12:30 on Thursday or (b) a student with a 1 pm class is presenting in which case we may chose to meet at 12:30 on Thursday. Understandably, those with 1 pm classes may need to leave the workshops a little early. |
