Pre-meeting with Matt Strassler and Masahiro Morii, Wed June 3
- goals and structure
- grad vs. undergrad students- fac want to talk to G1's. Fac need that as an incentive. Fewer G1's as the year progresses.
- honing presentations
- grading
- attendence
- resources
- what if someone only comes for one of the two terms?
- written communication as well as oral?
We are only offering it one term this coming year!
Matt had 8 students- Three full presentations each, roughly. 15-20 min talks. One with PPT. Then two at blackboard. Made himself avail. beforehand, and consultation afterwards to go over video in person. TA set up taping. Grading- nearly impossible. Assessed on strength of presentations. Mostly B+, A-. took derivative into account. Effort and participation in class and discussions. They did have students evaluate each other. Matt anonimized the student feedback, met with one on one after each presentation.
Hardest part is to get faculty to give talk title and contact person who mediates online discussion and attend Monday presentation. Critical thing is whether a good review article was available. Vital to get that early in order for students to have time to prepare. Only one faculty talk per evening, unless there is a clear connection. Since there is only one term I need to control this more than Doodle poll.
Masa had a TA- he set up web site, reading, etc, online discussions. Came to all presentations and feedback sessions.
Presentation Types:
scientific meeting 15 min talk
advice to capitol hill
