Mondays and Wednesdays will be reserved for lectures and discussion
of central scientific topics relating to cancer. Each Friday
class will be devoted to student presentations of an assigned
research paper (2 students/paper). Each student will present
once during the term.
This paper should be an exploration of a specific scientific
advance relating to a particular question of interest. The topic
will have to be fairly well focused, to allow a sufficiently
in-depth discussion, and should be approved by the instructor.
Ten typewritten pages is the upper limit.
Grades will be based on exams (mid-term and final - 25% each),
the term paper (25%), and class presentation and participation
(25%).
