GBS Lymphocyte Biology When is the class? Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8am Shelby 105 There is no class on Monday January 17th, but class will instead be held on Tuesday January 18th. The last class is on January 28th
What will be covered in the class? • Each week a different topic related to lymphocyte biology will be covered • The material covered will be based on papers with some reviews for background information.
How is the class formatted? • Each paper will be introduced by an assigned student. The student should clearly outline the rationale for the study and basically overview why the work was initiated. • The assigned student will present the first figure of the paper and is also responsible for preparing powerpoint slides of ALL OF THE OTHER FIGURES from the paper.
What happens after figure 1? • After the paper has been introduced we will randomly pick students to present the remaining figures and tables (typically one student for each display item). • You should emphasize why the experiment was performed, how it was done, how it fits in with the rest of the report and also give the authors’ as well as your own conclusions about the data shown.
DISCUSSION!! • All students are expected to read all of the papers. • Students are expected to actively ask questions and participate in a lively discussion of the figures, papers and topic. • You will get out what you put in!
