COURSE SYLLABUS
Name of Course: WL 790 Graduate seminar

DATE & LOCATION: Wednesday, 3:00 – 3:50 PM, SNP 103
Ground rules for WL 790:
a. All graduate students must attend all seminars, unless in class or in the field.
b. All M.S. and Ph.D. students are required to give a proposal seminar and a completion seminar.
c. A third seminar is also required, but a presentation at a professional meeting satisfies that requirement.
d. You do not have to enroll for the seminar the same semester that you plan to give a seminar. This provides some flexibility for your study plan.
All seminar information will be handled through the SDSU Wildlife and Fisheries homepage. From our departmental homepage, go to Graduate Courses then WL 790 Graduate Seminar. At this site, you will find the current seminar schedule, abstracts, and other pertinent information. As a gentle reminder, I plan to do a department-wide email of the seminar(s) du jour on the morning of the presentations.
Please email an electronic abstract (MS Office doc) of your abstract to me ONE WEEK prior to your seminar. Include the title and author, use 1.5 or 2-line spacing in the body of the abstract, provide one or two pertinent references (single-spaced), and please keep to a single page.
M.S. students should plan for a 15-20 min presentation; Ph.D. students plan 20-25 min for proposal seminars, but can have 40-45 min for completion seminars (we will modify the schedule, if necessary).
Seminars will be evaluated separately by your peers and faculty.
