Giving and listening to presentations, doing literature search, asking constructive questions, and interacting with colleagues who work on different topics and in different institutes are all essential professional skills not only for doing astronomical research but also for careers in many other disciplines. The weekly colloquia are excellent opportunities for practicing these skills. For example, thinking about how others give presentations will help you improve your own. Previewing relevant publications, even just briefly, will improve understanding of the presentation and inspire deeper questions. Interacting with visiting speakers will help you learn not only about science, but also about different perspectives on life and work in the world of professional astronomy.
The teaching assistant of this course is Li-Wen Liao (liwen@gapp.nthu.edu.tw).
Grades of this course will be evaluated based on:
1. Attendance(80%): Please sign in using the sign-up sheet provided by the TA for each colloquium. Students who attend all 15 regular colloquia on Fridays (2/26, 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26, 4/9, 4/16, 4/23, 5/7, 5/14, 5/21, 5/28, 6/4, 6/11, 6/18) will receive full credits in this category. Attendance of the special seminars will not be counted.
2. Participation(20%): Students are encouraged to interact with the speakers and reflect on the colloquium. To receive the participation points, please submit a short report to the TA within one week after the colloquium. Reports on special seminars will be counted too. For detailed instructions, please download the report template from the iLMS system or via this link:
