This is a
1 credit course which is run
by Biomedical Engineering graduate
students. The course will be
directed and coordinated by
the faculty chair of the Biomedical
Engineering Graduate Interdisciplinary
Program.
Participation
throughout the students’ graduate
career is strongly encouraged.
Ph.D. students are expected
to present a minimum of two
Student Forum presentations
during their enrollment. Student
attendance will be taken at
each Student Forum. The special
Graduate College grading scale
(S, P, C, D, E) will be used.
Grades will be based on attendance,
submission of evaluation forms,
and completion of assigned
presentation forms. Only two
student forums can be missed
per semester. If a student
misses more than two sessions,
the make up work will be assigned
by Dr. Williams.
Presentation
topics will typically be a
student’s current doctoral
research or the results of
a laboratory rotation (BME
597G) but other subject areas
are welcomed if they are applicable.
Audiovisual aids such as Power
Point presentations or transparencies
are strongly encouraged, and
time should be allowed for
a question and answer session
at the end of the presentation.
Attendees will complete and
presenters will receive (confidential)
written evaluations at the
end of each presentation.
Additional
Activities
Besides presentations
by the students, the Student
Forum will involve other public
speaking activities and skill
building sessions.
The Student
Forum is designed to be an
open, friendly time where students
can enjoy one another’s
company and research. Everyone
participating should receive
constructive criticism from
their peers that will improve
their public speaking and prepare
them for the future. The Student
Forum will be only as productive
as the students wish to make
it so it is up to us to start
a successful tradition for
BME 696C.
