Critical Thinking in Neuroscience provides training for first year students in reading, analyzing, and presenting current research results from other laboratories. Students will learn to render a critique of a paper, interact in a seminar situation, and give formal presentations on selected research papers.
Attendance is mandatory.
If you attend all classes you get full credit. If you miss more than one class you get no credit. You are also required to attend the lunches and talks when there is a visiting colloquium speaker. Two students will each present one research papers each week. The selection of the papers will be up to the class.
