Description
This class is intended for first year graduate students. Its goal is to help graduate students identify research areas
they are interested in and faculty members they would like to work with, as well as accelerate students' involvement in
research.
Grade
A student may register for this course as a one credit pass/fail course. Attendance will be taken at each lecture.
In order to pass, students can miss at most 2 lectures. If you have to miss more than 3 due to extreme situations,
you should obtain approval from the course instructor before missing the lecture.

Academic Honesty and Ethical behavior are required in this course, as it is in all courses at Purdue University
(here is the

The class will be conducted according to the policy written by Professor

exceptions. You are encouraged to talk with the professor about any questions you have about what is permitted on any
particular assignment.
