Developmental Plant Genetics
This course introduces advanced biology students to fundamental research on plant developmental biology. The course focuses on reading and understanding the current literature in plant developmental genetics. For that purpose, students will read research papers and present the main scientific results in the form of short talks. Subsequent discussions will further evaluate the findings presented. This is a continuous-assessment-only module, the main body of the course consists of presentations given by students and discussions led by students.

You select one research paper out of the given options and create a 30min presentation total with another student. If you hate group work this is still fine because all you do is split the paper between the two of you and work on your part induvidually and then are graded separately so very dope. A portion of the grade is also attendance and how often you ask other people questions at the end of their presentation. Very easy class. At the end of the term we got a massive box of candy
In practice
You have to spend some time reading and digesting the paper assigned to you as well as making the actual presentation. Also make sure to actively engage during other peoples presentations and ask questions even if you know the answer just to have the participation mark
