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.
