Credit

Students may enroll for one (1) credit. Although the University lists the course as “variable credit,” the two- and three-credit options are not currently available.

Students enrolled in the seminar are expected to read the papers prior to the seminar. Additionally, students are expected to sign up to lead the discussion on one or more seminar meeting. Leading the discussion means:

  • Preparing a 7-10 minute summary of the paper and its pertinent points;
  • Familiarizing yourself with the paper so that you can answer questions that may come up;
  • Preparing potential discussion points if the discussion needs prompting.

    • Tips on Reading Papers
