Master's Seminar Course in Biochemistry



This is the Wednesday afternoon (4:00 pm) student seminar series. Attendance at and participation in this course are mandatory. Attendance is monitored by a sign-up sheet. Although you are not expected to attend every seminar, you will be penalized if you have a poor attendance record. The penalty will be an essay assignment(s) on seminar topics that you have missed. A student in the M.Sc. program, or a student scheduling a transfer exam, must give at least one half-hour seminar. No formal grade is assigned to BCH2020L as it is a credit/non-credit course. However, you will receive feedback on your seminar from faculty immediately following the presentations of the day. You will also receive a summary of evaluation forms completed by the faculty. You remain registered in this course until you complete your M.Sc. or transfer into the Ph.D. program, at which time you are assigned credit for the course.

Seminar Format
Your seminar should include sufficient background information on the goals of your project and the experimental approaches that you use for the diverse expertise of the members of the audience. You are strongly encouraged to rehearse your seminar presentation and to think about how you might answer questions that you may receive. You are advised to keep PowerPoint animations to a minimum as the audience generally finds these distracting rather than instructive. Be aware of your colour choices. Avoid red on a black background!

Seminar Sign-up
Sign-up for a seminar slot is done mid-summer through the BGSU. You will receive an email from a BGSU representative. When you sign-up for a seminar inform your supervisor and committee members of your scheduled date as they are expected to be present at your seminar. Two weeks before your presentation date, remind them that your seminar is coming up. At this same time also give the title of your seminar to Vicki (victoria.ilgacs@utoronto.ca) with a cc to the Chair of the Department.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the date that you sign-up for your seminar, or are assigned, is convenient for your supervisor and supervisory committee members. Two weeks before your seminar date, you must remind them that your seminar is coming up.

Also remind your committee members that Departmental Guidelines require that they be present at your seminar. This is true even if they have just attended a seminar that you presented elsewhere or if you have just had, or are about to have, a committee meeting.
