EMAT 8990
First Semester Doctoral Seminar
Fall 2005
Aderhold 116
9:30-10:30 am
Purpose
This
seminar is open to all new doctoral students and is intended to be
taken in your first semester of residency. The purpose of the seminar
is for you to learn about the work and interests of each faculty member
in mathematics education. Each week a different faculty member will
join us for discussion of a piece of work (article, grant proposal,
etc.) that s/he has selected. In addition to learning about the work of
each faculty member, the seminar will serve to introduce you to the
variety of options you will have for course work, research, service
activities, independent studies, and other activities during your
doctoral program.
