PHDBA279S (Fall 2010)

• This page is in the BPP category

PHDBA279S is the PhD in BPP Research Seminar, generally known as the BPP Student Seminar. It is a weekly seminar where students present their research to other students in the group. This is a required seminar for BPP students in the 2nd year and above. For Fall 2010 Ernesto Dal Bo will be the supervising faculty member.

Class Details

The class is as follows:

• Thursdays from 12pm to 2pm
• In F555
• With Ernesto Dal Bo
• Starting 2nd Sept (Instruction formally begins Thurs Aug 26th) and ending 18th Nov (classes formally end 3rd Dec)
• Thurs 11th Nov and Thurs 25th Nov are listed in the Calender as Academic/Administrative Holidays
• By tradition/convention the presenter brings "classy" chocolate for all to share

Priority for Scheduling

The order of priority for scheduling is:

• Fifth Years
• Fourth Years
• Third Years
• Second Years
• Justin Tumlinson (Sixth Year)

Please add yourself (first name only will do) in to any date that you would like to present, noting that the priority above applies. Within years it is first-come-first-served (yes there is a history function to check!). During the first class we will have a clearance. But if you feel sure that you have a date (i.e. because you are a fifth year, or all fifth years have decided and you are a fourth year, and so on by induction) you can turn your name bold. A list of all BPP students is here.

Note that there are 14 current BPP students in years 2 through 6, and only 11 slots. So we will have to resolve this somehow. One possibility is that the second years share a slot, as does one pair of other students, or that one student does not present.
