  1. Physics 599 Graduate Research Participation Seminar Instructor/coordinator: Witold Nazarewicz witek@utk.edu 574-4580 Place: PHY 304 Time: Wednesdays 3:35-4:25 pm www.phys.utk.edu/witek/PHY599/phy599.html • The course introduces new graduate students to the current research at the physics • department. The research directions will be presented by our faculty is short seminars. • In order to facilitate the efficiency of participation, each student is required to: • Complete a confidential survey indicating the individual research interests, preferences, and expectations. The name of each student is strictly kept confidential. • Turn in a short paragraph before a seminar that consists of two parts. (1) What major research topic(s) of that day's speaker may be of interest to you. (2) Any new perspective that you have learned from the previous week's speaker. What you will submit is also kept confidentially. • Be active during the seminars • Attend a discussion forum at the end of the semester (Dec. 4, 2008) • The attendance is mandatory and it will be checked.
