Here are the information about why I am asking from you for this course:
- choose 2 papers:
- 1 classic paper (form the list, or any before 1990 with a large influence on the field ~ highly cited)
- 1 recent paper (after 2000)
- 1 about ecology + 1 about evolution, or two on the same topic
- give 2 x 15min talks on these papers (on different days defined ahead)
- the summary of the classic paper is due for the 6th of November
- write 2 x 1000 words summary discussing the paper and why it is important
- read the papers and summaries that will be presented by others beforehand
- write down 5 questions on each paper presented by others beforehand
- ask at least one question for each paper presentation
Here is how you will be scored:
- talks are scored by me and by all the others (anonymously to the presenter)
- summaries are scored by me and by all the others (anonymously to the pres.)
- questions are scored by me
- individual interview with me about two papers (one classic, one recent) randomly chosen among those presented by others (ca. 15 min)
The final score = ΒΌ x each score
