==Yet More Changes to Student Seminar==
 
−
 
 
−
Noam, on behalf of the faculty is currently proposing changes to Student Seminar. If you would like to discuss them, please use the [[Talk:PHDBA279S_(Fall_2011) | Discussion Page]] - faculty do not have access to these pages.
 
−
 
 
−
The changes proposed are:
 
−
#Presentations be generally limited to 40 minutes (45 was originally suggested, but by the end of class it was determined that only 40 minutes would be available). There would be exceptions to this for Job Market candidates and for other people who wanted full slots and could get approval for them from the faculty.
 
−
#More faculty will (sic) start attending student seminar.
 
−
 
 
−
It was envisaged that (1) would allow for the presentation of raw ideas, rather than 'polished work', and would limit 'unconstructive criticism'. (2) would apparently get more faculty involvement with students and afford presenters feedback from faculty.
 
−
 
 
−
Feelings posted on the [[Talk:PHDBA279S_(Fall_2011) | Discussion Page]] include:
 
−
*This is '''our''' seminar, and we should have a strong voice in how it is run.
 
−
*The additional faculty that will attend would likely be limited to Ernesto on a regular basis, with possible occasional attendance from Rui and Steve. One suggestion fielded was that faculty create an additional institution to help us with our 'raw' work - perhaps a lunch (and even if they didn't offer to pay for our lunches, this seems likely to get a good attendance). A more cyncial comment would be that if you want feedback from Ernesto he is usually in his office (F556).
 
−
*At least one student liked the incentive of having to produce work that covered a 90 minute presentation.
