| Student Responsibilities | During the semester each student will prepare a presentation and an abstract of a scientific paper. See guidelines and suggestions for preparing your presentation. Students are also expected to attend all of the classes and to actively participate in class discussions. An excess of unexcused absences will result in a lower grade. Students should choose a paper and register the paper with the seminar coordinator as soon as possible. (Check the presentation schedule for papers already registered as well as the Fall 2023 schedule for papers presented in the previous semester.) Students are encouraged to consult with the seminar coordinator, or any other departmental faculty, in regards to the appropriateness of a paper and in the preparation of the abstract and presentation.
