Course Overview

The goal of Seminars in Parasitology is to encourage students to discuss work from different parts of this large field of knowledge, fostering the learning and the discussion of a broad base of current scientific issues.

Learning Achievement

The opportunity of discussing and interacting with authors is highly enriching and facilitates the retention of knowledge. The possibility of directly asking the authors questions fosters the development of a critical spirit in the student.

Grading Philosophy

* Assessment will be based on frequency of attendance; students who have missed a talk can make up their attendance record by writing a satisfactory one-page (maximum) essay about one of the talks they have not missed. Up to three absences can be nullified in this manner.

Course schedule

Talks will be presented by researchers active in the many subfields of Parasitology and related disciplines. These researchers will mostly come from other departments and universities, but some might be professors, postdoctoral fellows or young researchers from our own department. The speakers list will be announced in advance, at the start of the semester.
