Lectures: The first three class times will discuss major physics and astronomy journals and databases and how to search them, style and tools for writing of scientific articles, and style and tools for presenting talks and posters.
Student talks: Starting in early March, students will present talks in the same format as APS contributed talks lasting 12 minutes (10 minutes to present; 2 minutes for Q & A) on a recent research frontier selected from the list posted at Topics.
Academic Honesty: The policy on academic honesty as stated in the Student Guide to University Policies will be followed during this course. In particular: collaboration on homework assignments and in-class activities is permitted and encouraged (unless your instructor explicitly indicates otherwise).
Students must attend all lectures and talks by other students.
