SBC795 Graduate Student Research Seminar-I 0.5 Credit (0-0-1) The course is aimed at giving the student a forum to periodically present their research, to critique the research of colleagues and learn about the best research in their fields. Discussions will be held on scientific methodology and inculcated with a value system for pursuing a career in science. Activities will be carried out in workshop mode. SBC796 Graduate Student Research Seminar-II 0.5 Credit (0-0-1) Special topics in research will be assigned by Coordinator; results of the research of each student registered for the course will be discussed; Discussions on scientific material from recently published papers in areas related to their research; The “Laboratory” activities will include delivery of seminars on their research and participation in the seminars and critique.
