Complex systems seminar
Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement:
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
Course specific prerequisites
The course is only open for the Master's program students
Aim
This seminar course intended only for the Master's program students runs through the entire first year. The course consists of seminars where invited scientists present their research, discussion of selected articles in the field, and presentations of student projects.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
The student should improve their skills in preparing and presenting talks and obtain a broad overview over the area of complexity science.
Content
The course gives the Master's students practice in oral presentation of scientific topics, practice in searching for scientific information, and opportunities to discuss ongoing projects with faculty and other students.
Organisation
The course is given during the entire year on the masters program in complex systems. Normally there will be one seminar per week where two-three students each give an approximately 20 min presentation on a subject of their choice in complex systems science. After each presentation, the teacher, the presenter and the reviewers discuss the experience.
Literature
The literature will be specific for the different topics chosen by the student.
Examination
Oral presentations during the course. Participation in review of other students' presentations. Compulsory attandenace at lectures.
