Course Aims | ||||||||
This course aims to engage students in active and effective discussions on their own scientific research projects with teachers and peers. Through presentations in seminars and attending seminars from other peer students, the students will benefit in multiple ways that can promote their future development in academia. These include: (i) broadening the scientific horizon by being introduced to various approaches of advanced neuroscience research; (ii) developing the critical scientific mentality in formulating hypothesis, identifying current gaps of knowledge, choosing the appropriate methodologies, interpreting scientific data and designing future experiments; (iii) growing confidence to present and exchange ideas in front of audience; (iv) exposure to different presentation skills and develop his/her own way to present logically and clearly; and (v) developing effective communications through scientific writing. The students will also write peer reviews on others’ presentations, thereby providing opportunities for them to learn from each other through constructive feedbacks. | ||||||||
