Hello CSE majors,
Are you looking to add one additional credit to your schedule? Are you interested learning more about CSE research? Are you doing CSE research and interested in sharing your experience with other undergrads outside your research group?
Consider adding CSE 497: Undergraduate Research Seminar to your schedule. This 1 credit seminar meets once a week throughout the quarter for 50 minutes.
Registration Details: We are currently waiting for the course to be added to the time schedule. It will be under CSE 497, please look for it this evening. Note: TODAY (Monday) is the last day to add/drop without the $20 fee. If you have seen this email too late, please email ugrad-advisor and we’ll help you get registered.
Brief Course Description: This course aims to get current undergraduates interested in CSE related research topics by exposing them to projects that are currently going on in the department. Additionally, this course gives current undergrads a venue to discuss their research with other students outside of their research area.
A typical 50 minute meeting is primarily lead by a grad student or undergrad who is currently doing research. The majority of class time is devoted to the presenter talking about one primary topic with the possibility of a second. The primary discussion topic is related to their research area. Following the research discussion, further dialog and discussion will be opened up for entire class participation.
Student Responsibilities: At the end of the quarter, each student must write a single page reflection on a research area discussed that they found the most interesting and why. Additionally, students who are currently doing research are highly encouraged to sign up for a presentation, but not required.
