| Title |
Lecture Series in Behavioural, Theoretical, and Evolutionary Biology, seminar |
| Description |
The aim of this lecture series is to introduce students to cutting-edge original research and to train them to discuss current results and hypotheses with each other and the respective scientists. For this purpose, we invite highly reputed scientists in the fields of behavioral ecology, theoretical ecology and evolution, and evolutionary ecology to give a research seminar. Every other week, the seminars are complemented by student-led discussions of the speakers' research papers. This lecture series belongs to the list of seminars for which 3rd-year students of Ecology and Evolution can obtain compulsory ECTS points. Interested individuals from all fields and career stages are highly welcome to join and participate in the seminars and paper discussions.
The successful attainment of ECTS points for participation in this course requires
regular attendance: absence during no more than 3 course dates
active participation in the discussions through questions: Specifically, students must ask a question in at least three blocks of the course (a “block” consists of a seminar and a paper discussion), with at least one question in each of two seminars and during one paper discussion. Students who ask a question in every block receive a bonus on their overall grade. A piece of paper containing the question that was asked, which also contains the name of the student who asked the question, has to be handed to the lecturers at the end of the respective session.
co-leading a paper discussion: groups of up to 4 students are asked to present a paper provided by the seminar speaker and to lead the paper discussion. The presentations should last no longer than 30 minutes, with the presentation time split between all students in the group, followed by around 30 minutes of discussion. Students can choose their presentation date/block here: https://app.kulibri.com/pr/Q2PJ8KzzVZay/RDAJRDAJY8wy8ZvO
Students are expected to read all papers in advance of the respective block (and, especially, the discussion session) and to continually participate in the paper discussions throughout the semester.
Grades are determined based on the quality of the paper presentation and discussion lead. Although there is no final exam, to receive a grade, students must sign up for the “exam” on KSL at least two weeks before the last date of the course.
Note that use of digital devices (laptops, tablets, mobile phones) is not permitted during the seminars, but will be permitted during the paper discussions. |
