Course Description & Goals
The Spring DBS
professional seminar is designed to serve as a mechanism for facilitating
student organization of the DBS brown-bag colloquia series. Students in this
course will organize the speaker series both for the current Spring semester
and for the following Fall semester. This involves contacting and scheduling
both external and internal speakers and panels, deciding on topics and formats
to be covered, advertising the sessions, attending the sessions, and providing
a variety of speaker-support functions (AV/technology needs, drinks, lunch,
parking, maps etc…)
Course
Requirements/Assignments/Activities
1) Attendance/participation at the colloquia. Students are required to attend every colloquium this semester. Students are allowed to miss one session without penalty but after that, the students grade will be affected.
2) Planning/organizing future colloquia – Students are responsible for completing the speaker schedule for this semester and for practically filling the speaker schedule for the next fall.
3) Speaker support. Students will assist in providing speaker support this semester (AV/technology needs, drinks, lunch, parking, maps etc…)
We can use WEBCT for online discussion if desired. This will be determined on the first day of class.
Grades for this course will be on a satisfactory/no credit basis. In order to receive a satisfactory pass, students will need to complete requirements above.
