PROBLEM SETS:
|
There will be two problems set assignments during the term. While you may discuss the assignment with your classmates, you must prepare your answers to the problems independently. Marks will be given for showing workings as well as for final answers. Further information will be provided with each problem set.
|
TERM PAPER AND SEMINAR:
|
The topic for your paper/presentation will be a current/recent remote sounding mission and selected results obtained from the mission. Before Reading Week, you must discuss the topic with your lecturer. By early March, you will complete an outline for the paper (including an "annotated" bibliography). Guidelines for the outline, term paper, and presentation will be provided later in the term.
|
JOURNAL CLUB PRESENTATION:
|
You will be responsible for presenting a journal article related to the course material (chosen by your lecturer) and leading a class discussion of this paper. These presentations will be spread throughout the term (tentatively as part of three lectures, at times to be agreed upon with your lecturer).
Guidelines on the format of the presentation and expectations for the discussion will be provided later in the term. Your mark will be assessed based on the presentation of your paper and your participation in discussion of the other papers. |
