Seminar: Experimental and Theoretical Aspects of Audiology (516-0-20)
Instructors
Adrian Rodriguez Contreras
Meeting Info
Frances Searle Building 2378: Fri 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Overview of class
Open to graduate students pursuing the PhD degree.
Evaluation Method
Grades for the course will be assigned based on (at least) two presentations during the quarter (80%) and summary statements of other papers (20%) discussed during the quarter.
Presentations: The primary articles for the presentations can be chosen by the presenter but have to be approved by the instructors. The presenter is expected to use relevant literature outside of the chosen article(s) to provide a brief but comprehensive background of the subject matter. The presenter is also expected to relate the results of the article(s) under discussion with other relevant literature.
Grades will be based on the how well the student places the topic in the context of the literature and the quality of the presentation. Grades will be assigned based on the evaluations of all instructors.
Summary statements: Students will write summary statements (not exceeding 650 words) of each paper discussed during the quarter. These statements will be submitted electronically to all instructors. Grading of these statements will be based on accurate interpretation of the theoretical issues of the paper and critical examination of the methods and results.
Class Materials (Required)
There is no required textbook. Articles for review are chosen on a weekly basis to keep abreast of current developments in the field.
Resource is on reserve at library
Public research databases like Pubmed
Class Notes
The overall goal of this seminar is to review emerging issues in audiology and hearing science. Critical review of recent and historically important articles from the peer-reviewed literature will serve as the principal vehicle for the achievement of this goal. Presentations by students will be interleaved with model presentations by the instructors and members of their laboratories.
