TAC Symposium Course
Thematic Field | Neuro and Stem Cell Biology |
Course Number | 5001038 |
Target Group | PhD students in the Epigenetics Research School and other PhD students who have not had their first TAC meeting |
Contents | In this course the participants prepare their research proposal as they would for their first TAC meeting. Then each student reviews the written proposals of 2 other students and provides comments (this process is anonymous) then the comments are used to prepare the presentation. During the symposium each student presents his or her proposal. This is followed with a discussion led by the 2 students who reviewed the written proposal. There are only PhD students and Post Docs in the audience. Through this we offer a peer to peer experience in which the students support each other |
